Things sure have been busy around here! Two weeks ago Pepper was entered into an agility trial at Aberdeen with Kim Anderson as the judge. We walked away with another Advanced Jumpers Q. We just need one more to break into Masters Jumpers. We were soooo close at a Starters Standard Q but alas, that table got the better of us. I am hoping to work with Pepper on the table over the winter to find out what will help her to go down faster on it. There must be something I am doing wrong which is causing her to take her sweet ass time! Taz got to come along for the day because we had an open house. He was a model canine and did not once freak out! I am finding that the spazzing is happening with less frequency but we are still diligent at keeping him sub-threshold.
Taz has been doing great in agility. We usually have only one or two freak outs a session. Not to bad if I do say so myself. I try to keep him occupied (or in his kennel if I need a break) and do a lot of treating for even looking at a dog without reacting. He really loves to learn and will excel at agility once he learns some more self-control and collection.
Tonight we were at Grandma Munro's house after the funeral. There was 9 adults there, 6 of them Taz was not very familiar with. Not once did he growl or show insecurity! He got lots of attention and gave lots of attention back. He has come along way with strangers! He made me very proud tonight.
