Current Training

Belle is currently taking time off from obedience training and focusing on solely learning attention. Isabelle is probably the most distracted dog in the world Being only a few inches of the ground, she has to combat heeling with cool things on the ground, people who may want to pet her, dogs that she can beat up, and most important food! If Belle sees someone treat their dog, she assumes they meant it to go to her!!! So we are taking an attention class.

Belle just finished a class on weave poles. This class really helps the dog speed up through the poles, enter the poles from all angles, and love the poles. This has really helped Belle look at this agility obstacle in a different light. I am going to also start working Dora with these new training practices.

Dora & Belle are both taking a regular agility class at this point. We have had a bit of a winter break but are now back into it!

Dora is also taking an offlead control class as her heeling offlead needs some work. We would like to really concentrate on obedience but Mommy isnt practicing enough with her! Hopefully life will start going smoother and start to change.
