Well, I obviously didn’t do a very good job with keeping this thing updated. We’re back to where I started, only a year later. Ugh!
So, let’s go over what I’ve managed to accomplish this year…
- Graduated college with a BS (yep, I’m officially a certified bullshitter!)
- Attended the Tom Rose School for Dog Trainers (meaning I took a brand new puppy, trained her, and tested and passed the following…)
-Dog House Test (off lead heeling, sit and down in motion, down from sit, sit from down, recall) with 3 different dogs, one of which must score a 96 or higher
-Canine Good Citizen
-AKC Novice Agility
-AKC Novice OB
-BH
-SchH2 Obedience
-Send Out with Sit Indoors (and outside in SchH2)I have three things left to test for, and with holidays and weather I’ve been behind in training, but they will be done soon – AKC Open, narcotics (NNDDA equivalent), SchH1 trackOf course, we also had to instruct classes and train in-kennel training dogs, along with all of that. So it was definitely a great experience and I am a better trainer and person for it. - I finally got my Doberman puppy. Hoorah!!! Her name is Pele and she came all the way from Poland from the Friend of Mine kennel. She was born on July 15th so she is 5 months old and she’s a little red head! She also helped me pass some of my tests at TRS! Her daddy is Bojan v Havelland IPO3, VPG3, ZTPV1A, AD, a very handsome dog that can work! He competed in the 2010 DV DM (German championship) and placed 10th with a score of 265. I’m hoping that Pele will follow in his pawprints!
