On Friday we had an “ocean effect” snow storm and got about 4 inches of snow. Yesterday morning my mother and I took the dogs for a walk in Hawk’s Nest State Park in Harwich and they had a great time.
Danny, Dylan, Aiden and Daisy
We also played in the garden – Aiden loves the snow!
Jack and I usually work on Saturdays so that we can have Wednesday off for training. This past Wednesday training was cancelled because of heavy rain and we have not been able to train for several weeks due to the holidays and Mario being away. The Bay State Schutzhund Club invited us to train with them on Saturday afternoon in Rhode Island at their indoor site so we took a vacation day to go. Mario is a club member and their trainer.

Today is Aiden’s 9 month birthday and Jack’s birthday also. We took Aiden tracking this morning. It was very windy but mild and all the snow has already melted. After tracking Aiden got the chance to stretch and run a bit.

Attention all “A” Litter owners…Aiden wants to see pictures of his siblings.
Happy Birthday Jack and Aiden!!!
Everyone looks like they were enjoying the snow.
Aiden’s training is coming along great. I love his disposition, so calm and attentive and ready for everything. You can see he loves every aspect of his training – so well rounded.
I couldn’t believe how well he is tracking – he turned the corners immediately wtihout hesitation.
Well done team Aiden!
Happy birthday, Jack and Aiden! Your pack is the coolest.
Aiden is amazing! Of course, I expected nothing less, considering your training, Lynda & Jack. Is that a clicker I am hearing during the obedience training session?
He looks so much like Dutch in that 6th picture. Actually, I see a lot of Dutch in all the AT dogs, which makes me VERY happy! They are so beautiful, aren’t they! I love that 8th picture of Aiden catching air in a full-throttle run. Beautiful.
Hi Beverly,
Yes, that is a clicker you hear in the obedience video. We use the clicker to mark the behavior we want.
Happy BirthdayJack!!! Happy 3/4 birthday Aiden. As for you Lynda…what can I say, I just love what I am seeing. Fabulous work!
Th turns on tracking are fantastic, the first one, I thought was just good luck, but no, the 2nd turn was just as good. I love the heeling, and the happy attitude, but of course he still has to look over at Jack once in a while just to make sure Jack is paying attention. 🙂 I like your trainer too!
Ditto on Julie’s comments! I’m hitting the Like button!
Wow, that tracking looks REALLY nice! Aiden is turning out to be quite the guy! Nice indoor training place, huh?
