About Me:
My heart goes out to nature and native american preservation. I am an interpreter for both, and enjoy teaching and working in these areas to make a difference. Before I went away to college I participated in Dog Agility. Now graduated I hope to enroll my corgi into it, she will love it! The first time I saw a corgi was at an agility trial, it was a MUST HAVE!

About My Corgi(s):
Mackenzie is addicted to anything with water, earning her the name AQUA MAN. She has a lazer light fetish and loves snow thrown in her face. Check her dogster page out! It's like the myspace for dogs!

Last Day of Fly Ball

Posted on June 16, 2008 at 4:01am 2 Comments

BEEZE-NUTS! Today was our last day of Fly Ball training for the summer due to me picking up a Sunday shift at the museum. It wasn't our BEST day but I still managed to capture some video clips to share with MY CORGI . COM! hahaha...Fly ball is FUN.COM!



Ok I am done.com - with the.com...



Fly ball did strap our relationship to a tighter fitting.

I love having that obligated time with my shortie and her non exsistant knees.

Nothing can break our bond! Or maybe me… Continue

First Day of Fly Ball Class

Posted on April 27, 2008 at 7:20pm 2 Comments

Kenzie and I started our first Fly Ball class today!



Lucky for US, we were the only ones there! Hahaha..

Something about people being in California?



I really think I picked the jack pot for her out of dog sports in regards to her personality.

She climbed on the Fly Ball Box like it was a jungle gym and wagged her tail when it clicked.



I thought she might be scared of the strange object or at least the noise. Nope.

She already knows how to jump… Continue

We graduated! I have seen a LOT of improvement mold from start to finish! Mackenzie does listen to most commands...but unfortunately, still barks at me the whole time. I am starting to just reward …

We graduated!



I have seen a LOT of improvement mold from start to finish!



Mackenzie does listen to most commands...but unfortunately, still barks at me the whole time.

I am starting to just reward her with random treats when she is sitting and making no noise randomly.

IT SEEMS to be working. Trying to show her it pays to be quiet.



I think we could pass the k9 good citizenship test, if we didn't have the barking issue.

The trainer is even amazed… Continue

Class 1 & 2

Posted on March 12, 2008 at 9:00pm 0 Comments

We've had two of our Obedience/Canine Citizen classes thus far.



Yay = we didn't eat faces off and were perfect in the + dogs environment



Boo = We are SO happy there that we can't stop barking!



AHHH..STOP..BARKING.



The only thing I can do to get her to stop is cover her eyes. If she can't see it, she pretty much bails on the vocals.

Any other suggestions?

The trainer said maybe give her a gaggle here and there, but… Continue

And We're IN!

It’s official!

We signed up for the Prereq Obedience/Good Canine Citizenship class.

This means we are that much closer to fly ball.



We will have some friends in the class with us that are quite as ill mannered as we can be, so our embarrassment level will be low.



Friends joining us?



Mattie = sheltie/border collie mix (WIRED!)

Murphy = australia Shep (Anxiety attacks!)

Rico = chihuahua (Attitude!)

And… Continue

Right now I live in Otsego (which is just north of Rogers if you know where that is), but I'm in the process of moving. I'll be moving into a new house sometime mid-July which is located in Little Canada.

Aww :) I hope your trainer figures out what it is. My guess is just over-excitement it was very cute to watch though. You two seem so happy!

Well if the turning thing didn't work *wipes hands together* My job is done ;) hahah

PS - thanks for the song name!

Soo awesome! when Frankie was little our back yard looked like "Wally World" she never met a sprinkler she didn't LOVE! Watching Mackenzie makes me laugh! What a fun time she's having. I'd love to find a Canine Good Citizen class close by us..My youngest would be perfect for that. I don't even know what "fly ball" is. can you explain?

I've never done agility or flyball, but there are two flyball clubs here and lots of agility groups. It should be a lot of fun! I'm planning to let Charlie "choose" which one he likes better. :)

How old is your dog? I've had people tell me to wait to start sports between 18 months and 2 years old to not damage his bones. We'll be doing obedience work until then.

That's great you have your own equipment. My backyard is big enough to have a course too! : )
