Hometown:
Fortuna, California
About Me:
I'm a hard working single mom of one Pembroke, Timmy. : ) Obviously I have quite a sense of humor, (being a corgi lover).

I'm retired from public service, and work part time at what ever other jobs I can find to support, "The True Prince of Wales".

I own a small home located in a small rural community on the far northern California coast; far from the maddening crowds and 4-5 hours from civilization. Surrounded by very tall trees, redwoods, I love being in the outdoors and "roughing" it.



I'm much wiser than Timmy thinks I am.
Welsh Corgi Breeder?
No
About My Corgi(s):
What can I say? Words escape and run in figure eights around the various items of furniture in the living room. Timmy is the "True Prince of Wales". He's very concerned with his looks, since he's very oversized (structured more like a cardigan). Very physically fit!! works out daily, in home, on the road or track, at the park chasing balls and once a week by a pet walker. Timmy doesn't walk, he struts, honest. When he meets another dog, he puffs up and makes sure the dog knows he's buff. It cracks me up!!! Timmy says to check out his dogster page at www.dogster.com/dogs/317521. He's also a junior reporter for our small local paper, Humboldt Beacon, writing stories on dog care, pet issues and news. So he's probably busier than I am!!!

Timmy got his CGC in 2005, he also got his certification from Delta Society as a therapy dog qualified in complex areas. He's started in agility and this year we are going to try rally obedience by attending some local classes.
I have:
Pembroke

    Welcome! Timmy does have totally buff body!! CorgiMom and I have Tank, a cardi x, who is CGC and Delta certified, too. He's known at the local nursing homes as "the trick dog." Let's just say he likes to show off.

    Hi! Oh, you'll enjoy your tricks class. And it's a blast to teach. "Shaping" or free-shaping is simply a method of training more complex commands. Basically, it's breaking a command down to it's smallest components and teaching them one at a time to make the total command. The clicker is awesome for tricks as it "marks" the moment your dog does what you want. It makes learning so much easier! I used a modified positive based training, as per the requirements of PetSmart and we do use clickers in class. I find that after a few weeks, though, folks tend to stop using them because they can't get the hang of the hand coordination. :-( Best of luck with your class!!

    PetSmart has handouts for each class so owners can keep up with everything. There's a good book in my class library. I can't remember the whole thing but it's like "101 Tricks" or something like that. I pull tricks out of there for my more advanced classes. It's pretty good.

    Wichita to Dallas to Hartford to New Haven. Yes, that was a long trip for the little guy! He came in from Dallas with three puppies so he was not all alone.
