Sorry about all the miss spelled words. I am using my phone and it has auto correct on it so it fry's to predict what I say but as u can see it didn't work very well LOL
Hey I'm sorry I have taken so long to get back with u but we had to move to Arkansas so that took some time hit anyways thank u for compliment! I have always thought of others before my self And I just couldn't imagine being in that situation. I hope tour agility training goes well:)) let me know how that starter kit is I just mint get one foe Teddy so he has something to do on days I can't walk him. I hope all is well with u
I just posted a photo; we finally got a sunny day on a weekend and climbed a little peak. The Northwest Avalanche Center called it "Apruary". All stations reported their deepest snowpacks by the end of April. Averaqge monthly freezing levels dropped from Jan thru April. I hope to take Al skiing Saturday. High avalanche danger last weekend due to all the recent snow. The gardens are a month behind at least.
With $4+ gas, many mountain areas are beyond reach.
At this time of year, I miss the eastern deciduous forests with their birdlife (the PNW has nowhere near the diversity there is out east). But what few warblers we do have are migrating through our yard. I build a starling-resistant flicker box, and a flicker has set up shop! I hope he finds a girlfriend.
Thank u very much:) we r training him to be a therapy dog because I want to make people who r in the hospital happy. Especially the children who have cancer and such. My heart goes out to them as I couldnt imagine going through that. We also the wounded veterans since my hubby is in the military : ) Teddy just loves people so l know this will be great for him and wear him out too lol that's awesome u r going to do agility with him! He will love it and it will wear him out so u can relax. When did u want to start taking him to agility? I bet he will do great.
Hi Brittany, They changed the Corgi Meet to May 1st due to the very wet weather we have had. Hope the weather is better then and we will see you there. Bev,Sparty, and Izzy
I do think the dogs enjoy variety, but y'know what? They'll settle for a walk around the neighborhood.
Look out for skunks and porcupines (Leave It!).
The great thing about hiking is: off-leash! I keep them close; that's their inclination anyway.
o yeah puppies grow up so fast so be sure to take lots and lots of pics:) teddy is doing great. if u havnt seen my page or the post i made we took teddy in to the Smithsonian museums to get some therapy training in. my husband and i and of course teddy had a blast! he loved the attention from everyone especially from the kids lol and we are about to ,move to AR next week and we have signed him up to take his canine good citizen class/test and the instructor said that teddy sounded like a perfect pupil which made my husband and i feel very proud lol
thank you so very much for all the info:) i will have to check this out as i am very interested. im happy its positive training as thats what i believe in. that is a great price for it to as at peto it costs 1,500 to train me, even though its for free for me
your welcome and thank you! thats really neat about those classes so thank you for telling me about them. that seems like a really fun program to be in and if you and your hubby work together im sure that u could run your own business :) after this move is done and i save enough money i would like to check that out. training dogs to be service dogs sounds very rewarding as right now we are training teddy to be a therapy dog. hes doing great so far but i cant wait to get him into a class that specializes in that.
in my classes we train using positive methods and i know every dog is different but i really hope that this program that you are telling me about does positive training as well. do u know by chance? if i can ovoid it i really dont want to use negative things such as a choker, those can have harmful effects
i LOVE being a dog trainer. it really lets you see how the dogs think and its so fun to have a puppy class and see the light bulb go off in their head like "o i get it!" and i love to point owners in the right direction as they are always willing to learn and to do the right thing for their pet. it just so much fun and i sometimes bring teddy in as a "student" and he has a blast showing off lol i know so much more now than when i did back then and i am so thankful to have this job. i do have some good news for you, u dont have to go to collage to be a dog trainer. all u have to do is apply as a dog trainer at petco/petsmart and they teach u for 4months on how to deal with every situation, every situation is different for each dog. the best part about this is that its free. once u have worked there for a year u are officaly a dog trainer and can do your own dog trainer business if u would like:) im not going to do that but i am always willing to help someone if their dog is having problems
thank you:) your little guy is so cute! im sorry your classes have been canceled, theres nothing more frustrating than that. the classes are wonderful though and are worth it as i am a dog trainer at petco:) in mean time of waiting teaching him some things would be great, from my experience with teaching corgis, they are extremely smart and want to please u. just working on sit and come are great until your class starts on tues. i bet he will do great!:)
Thanks for the comments on my name choice for my girls. I am really lucky to have found Luna after the devastating loss of River, she's made my heart heal.
Good luck with starting your training with Ruger. I'm sure he'll be a star pupil.
Thanks! We can't WAIT for spring to really arrive here in New England. While running around in the snow was fun, we are so ready for some warm temps so the hiking, canoeing and swimming can begin again!
Lots of new snow in the mountains, considerable avalanche danger. Redflowering currants in bloom, daffodils up for weeks now. Bumblebees. I put up a woodpecker box. Ornamental cherry trees blooming... petals already falling. Al & Gwynn love it; dead earthworms are in season!
