They were in Excellent Jumpers with Weaves today for the first time....along with LOTS of other dogs. There were many border terriers there and Mike said he knew most of them. Not all were Sunkist dogs but many of them were. Boogie ran well for Mike except that he just wasn't focused in the weaves. Mike said Boogie was weaving but not paying attention at all. Finally at pole number seven, he popped out...mostly because he just wasn't watching what he was doing. Mike didn't want to demotivate Boogie so they just kept going as though nothing wrong had happened. Boogie may not have been paying attention today but, as you can see, he does know how to concentrate.
Early this evening, we headed out to try tracking again. It was only Boogie's second day but he made such improvements just since yesterday. He was tracking fast, staying right on the track and even passing up some treats to get to the article at the end. So far he is very excited about this new game. And why not? His favorite thing is to walk along sniffing the ground anyway!
Here you can see how intently he watches the tracklayer....Mike.
A few weeks ago we had some pictures of taken of Boogie. He is such a clown...and oh so cute. Here are just a few of the tricks Boogie learned in just two short three-minute training sessions before our photo shoot.
Hello!
He is getting quite good at walking on his hind legs and staying up like this for well over a minute.
He literally learned this pose after me asking him to do it one time. And he'll stay in this position until you release him. I think we took thirty pictures of him like this without him moving....and only then because we released him.
Nothing fancy here, just my cute boy.
