Coral Bells

Break Throughts and Stairs

Ube and I had a breakthrough today. While I was working Inc today, UBE WAS QUIET IN HIS CRATE!!! NO CRYING, NO SCREAMING!!!!! A lot of hard work to get to this point. I know its not complete yet, but, today was a great start!! Attached is a video of Ube on the stairs, something fun to do with your dog this winter, you can see how much Ube enjoys it, and its also good exercise for the dog. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHUDLEIGH and CHRISTY on a job well done!

Hot Class!

But the dogs didn't seem to mind!

    Look at a those grins!

Brag Time!

CONGRATULATIONS to Christy who sent this message about her weekend. Zorro KICKED BUTT up in Mensona this weekend, winning his grad novice class both days to complete his 
title.  Woo Hoo, obedience is STILL lots of fun, especially when you win. 

New Look -

New look, what do you think??

Ube Staying Cool

Here is a picture of Ube staying cool on the hot days we had last week. He's hoping for more hot days, but I'm not.

Distraction Training

Can your dog do a sit stay while a hot air balloon lands  behind them?  Guess which girl was the best at this?  Don't you love their ears!!
