Today I finally got back out to do some tracking. I have fit an extra crate in my van and can now take Trust, Tank and Blast at the same time, if I choose. Since we will soon have winter weather, I am trying to do this now, just little fun tracks for all three, but working mainly on hard surface with Blast.
Today, I was able to do all three of them in pretty much the same location so it worked out well.
Todays' distractions were: people (as usual) with Trust, who now seems to think it's part of her job to visit anyone who wants to see her; Tank had two separate instances with little kids calling "puppy, puppy, puppy" and running up behind us; and Blast found a lovely street hockey ball, luckily near the end of the track or that would have been the end of it!!!
Going out again within a couple of days as weather is wonderful and will try to get some pics. then.
About Me
- susan
- We train/compete in various dog sports, but Tracking has been my main interest since 1994. Five of my dogs have earned TDX titles,Trust has now earned her UTDX which gives her the title of a Canadian Tracking Champion!!! And Now!! Blast has just earned his Tracking Champion title after passing his UTDX Oct.21/12 at just 3 years of age! Blast earned his UTD, TDX and UTDX all in 2012, quite a feat! Tank is working towards the elusive UTDX in 2013. One of the most special is still our little rescued sheltie earning a TD at nearly fifteen years old! I offer tracking classes each spring and am very proud of my students who have earned titles. I've also done tracking seminars on occasion, usually aimed at beginners. I am a CKC Tracking Rep. for Northern Ont. as well as a CKC Canine Good Neighbour Evaluator. We have been visiting a local nursing home weekly, when possible, for over six years, but presently have taken a reprieve from this. Time spent with the dogs walking/running on our property is probably our most enjoyable activity. I also offer private in-home training to assist pet owners and their dogs/puppies.
