I have decided that Vinnie needs his own blog! I want to use this blog as a journal of his training, his progress, and our trials and tribulations. Yep... I am SURE that there will be trials and tribulations! He always keeps me on my toes!
I have had Vinnie (or maybe he's had me?) for six months now - where has the time gone!! He is so smart and funny - he learns faster than any dog I have ever had. He is so outgoing and fearless. He plays with toys and he tugs (a first for me!!). He is also a teenager and full of himself right now. I have to keep reminding myself (thanks Tammy!!) that he is just a baby and he will outgrow a lot of things (Robin hopes he'll outgrow humping!).

Winter is bearing down on us and I need to have some goals... Goals are good, right? So here goes. We are taking a break from any agility training and working on our relationship/partnership. Couple's counseling, anyone? - personally, I think HE'S a bit controlling (I'm supposed to be the control freak here!). Anyway... I digress (That's how I get in trouble! Shiny object!). My goals for winter:
- Teach Rally exercises.
- Teach as many tricks as possible.
- Work on Vinnie's recall.
- Get Vinnie started on tracking.
- Walk at least three times a week.

Ok... that last one may sound kind of lame, but it gets pretty darn cold around here and I'm not one for taking random walks in the middle of winter! I am hoping to keep us both sane once winter sets in and we are "housebound".
I LOVE IT!!!!!!! Look at him go!!
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now Phoenix wants HIS own blog.
ReplyDeleteHave fun teaching the recall. Seriously. Have FUN!
And tell us all about it. I love reading about other people's training, both the good and the oh-that-needs-work. ( :
I could go on a walk with you. I did once.
