This has been a busy few weeks with doggy visits and training. Cassie has been enjoying the wet weather - deciding she needed a spa day and promptly ordered up the mud bath treatment...you should have seen her feet!
And then there is our frequent flyer - Coco. When Coco first came to stay with us - he was a bit of a curmudgeon. He didn't want any other dog to touch him, look at him or interact with him. We respected that and so did most of the dogs. But over time he has really opened up and begun playing with a few of the dogs here. We are thrilled to see his progress! On this latest trip - he engaged beautifully with Rubix, the packs' latest addition.
Both of these guys are on their way home and Charlie will be arriving for his B&T stay tomorrow!
The first meetup of Pawtential Pals training group was a great success. We had 12 dogs of all different ages and breeds turn up. Everyone socialized well together, including Coco who isn't even really a fan of other dogs and then we got down to business.
We discussed our options for working on Levels, Dog Scouts, Therapy behaviors, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Trick Dog titling, Rally and other options and most everyone is ready to just work on the basics and then go from there.
All the dogs were able to focus on their handlers and I think everyone went away with a plan for next week and a few new ways of looking at things. YAY!
Phoenix missed out this time as I had Coco with me but she will be joining us next week!
