2023



 It's a New Year!! Lots of new in 2022 and loss too, but hard as it can be-life goes on. Looking forward to this year by focusing on the positive. Kicked it off with agility (UKI), frisbee (UpDog) and herding (training for now). 




Have some exciting plans for new endeavours & directions and for pups later in the year, but for now focusing on training and starting to compete with the younguns, to see how they handle the world at large and who they are, as they mature. Puppy Pren just turned one and LOVES frisbee! She has also shown some really nice interest on sheep-so that is our focus. 

Older dogs still getting their training and out and abouts and hikes. Teg is happy to be back at training and will be helping out with new critters, as our new little farm takes shape. 

Happy New Year!

Mindset

Image
I started this post two months ago and have been thinking about this A LOT!!!  Mindset: it affects everything we do, including how we train our dogs. How we perceive, regard others and approach life, is our attitude and belief system at work. Do unto others and golden rule and all that, or not.  With a move to a new area, I find myself re-evaluating my core beliefs in many ways, and for the purposes of this blog-in training dogs. In some ways I feel like I have stepped back in time, watching how some people are so harsh and corrective with their dogs, and shock collars-OI!!!! Some of whom were barely born when Clicker Training and R+ became the advent and light for cognitive and kind training for dogs. This reverse mindset has caught me off-guard. I see so much stress and avoidance in some dogs, while the human half seems oblivious. Two steps forward and ten back, for the dogs. We can all do better! I don't claim to be purely positive and definitely not a push-over, in what I ...
