Flyball Progress!

All of the jump training I've been working on with Eden, combined with rewarding for showing interest/retrieving a flyball ball has started to pay off! The enthusiasm and speed that my little girl is showing is fantastic. And if that isn't enough, she is just SO stinkin' cute!

Agility Class #4

Eden is a rock star. I love her.

Three Weeks...

...since we got Kastle and Eden is starting to really put him in his place. She still enjoys playing with him (and toying with him hehe) but she is not as tolerant as she was when we first brought him home. I am allowing her to do all the correcting she deems necessary as she is never too mean in my opinion. She's such a good, sweet girl :-)

Kastle is faster than her now though so he can get away when he wants to...

 

Unless of course she has a really good reason to put on the speed!

LOVE this girl's recall! :-)

Training Update

Eden's training is coming along spectacularly. I'm working on quite a few different things on a rotating basis based on my mood at the time we head down to the basement training room. Here are the latest bits:

Eden with Kastle

Eden's little brother has been in the family for a full two weeks now. This warranted a trip to the park and then the obligatory play photos :-)

Eden is going to be losing the size advantage very soon...

First Track with a Corner

Eden's track today had a corner in it, the first time she's worked a track with a corner. She nailed it :-D There was no hesitation - she checked just once to the off-side of the corner and then shot up the other leg very sure that she had made the right decision. She is a joy to track!

New Truck Platform!

Russ made us up a new platform for the Element. While the crates were being rearranged into their new configuration, Ike and Eden were stuffed into one crate together. Ike normally has a 48" crate for his daily kennel and here they are both in a 36" LOL

The platform is definitely going to make hauling 4 dogs, 2 people and all of the associated gear much easier!! We're REALLY happy with it! :-)

Kastle is only going to fit in the small crate on top of Dottie for a short while longer. He has already surpassed Eden in height so pretty soon she will be in that crate and he will be in the one next to Ike permanently.
