O’Stara Debut



O'Stara made her ring debut today in the AKC Rally Novice ring at the Toledo Kennel Club.  Handled, trained, and owned by Charlene Wiglesworth.  Stara performed beautifully on some of the exercises and startled once when she noticed a door in the wall that made up one side of the ring.  That door clearly was not suppose to be in the ring!

Again, its Sunni in Iowa



Julie, we trialed last weekend, her 4th run was a spare, fun run, in novice
standard.  I handler errored and blew past the dogwalk so fast, she just beat
feet to catch up with me.  She is a blast to run, responsive and quick, awesome
in the weave poles.  She's had an issue with the teeter, couldn't even tell this
past weekend.  I've taught her to paw one set low and praised her for making it
bang with good treats- so now its a game, too.  We show next mid March near Des
Moines.  Margie

Ralph Waldo Emerson


The glory of friendship
is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of
companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when
he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust
him. 
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ears are Up!

All of a sudden Kodi's ears are up nearly all the time. He
is more playful now--either he is more comfortable around all the students, or
just starting to build up his self-confidence. They really enjoy getting to play
with him at the end of class--he is a great student motivator! I have found
that puppys bring out the smiles for many of my special ed students who are kind
of shy around their peers. Kodi is no exception!

 

I will send more pictures soon!

Rafe at Class

You should have seen Rafe at class tonight.  One of

the beagles he had not met was there, and we

introduced them.  I made Rafe stay down, so he was

crawling and stretching to get over there to kiss the

new dog.  And after his work he was playing goalie

with everybody in class.  I need to go back and do

some remedial finishes--on the "around" he visits

before he finally gets around, and on the swing he now

turns and sits sideways so he can get the treat faster

(he thinks--didn't quite work out that way, after

which he started to remember how to do it).
