I got it, I got it! Oh wait!
Often times when I recall Hank and he starts running I have to move out of the way once he’s close because he has no brakes lol. When he’s running he is going full speed “aw lawd he comin” mode and doesn’t try to stop until the last second.

I don’t know how many times Hank has recalled and almost ran into me or a tree because he’s running so fast 😂

Anyone want some tiger hugs?
Missing our friends a lot lately if I’m being honest. Missing the hikes, outings and meetups. But then I remember, we are staying home so that one day we can do all of it again. The past year has been so hard on everyone and especially those who thrive in the social aspect of the world. We will keep pushing, keeping things safe and doing our best with what we have. @ Ontario

Photography isn’t always about the location
You don’t have to go to the “coolest” or most “out there” places to get amazing photos. Sometimes the best ones come from just outside your home. I think we as photographers think of amazing photos a lot for being in super adventurous places, but today we went out into the driveway for some while cleaning up snow and putting a part in my car. A lot of what’s part of an amazing photo is our ability to find inspiration where we are and what we can envision in those places.

Always wanting to succeed
That’s our goal isn’t it? To succeed and be proud of our achievements? Yes! But we also need to be proud of how we get there, what steps we take and the journey itself! I’ve found such a love for photography and am really trying my best to get better at it, there’s so much that goes into setting up, packing the right things and finding those perfect spots. I struggle a lot with editing, even though I have made some improvement and grown with things I’ve been able to learn I feel like I’m a little “stuck” so to speak. That’s why I signed up for a session with , her photography skills, editing skills and just everything about her photos are goals!

Training never stops just like education
We should constantly be learning, educating ourselves and making improvements in not only our dogs but ourselves as well. There will never be a day where one knows everything, we must continuously be adapting our mindset and learning just like our dogs. There will always be new information, new experiences and new opportunities to educate ourselves. So when the time comes to apply things we know in our lives we have the ability to look back at the information we have been able to take in and use what we know to work with what is at hand.
Keep leaning, keep adjusting and never assume you know everything. @ Warsaw Caves

Hi! Will you be my friend?
Instagram can be a confusing platform at many times for me. But I’ve recently grown more love for it because of the fact I’ve found some amazing people through it. There are so many awesome people, dogs and photographers that I’ve been able to find and I love it. I can’t wait to be able to get out more and meet some of these amazing accounts like one day!

Oh the places we’ll go
There is so much out in this big wide world that we want to see. The amazing people we will meet and the things we will accomplish. This is what keeps us going, the goals we have and the adventure we seek. And one day when I’m old and grey I will think back to all that we’ve done and know it was worth every second.

Happy working dog Wednesday!
Been a hot minute since we’ve posted any bite work photos! Still working things alone with Jones and building our other exercises. We’ve specifically been working a lot on our retrieval, it’s been a bit of a struggle because he gets so excited about it but we’re making progress and that’s what matters!

Finding motivation through new thoughts
Who knew! I’ve recently found quite a few really cool accounts though Instagram and I think it’s pretty awesome! Seeing others way of photography, scenes, training and of course their beautiful pets! I find it has been super inspiring, plus it has motivated me to focus on what matters and to just have fun with life!

Catch me if you can! Oh wait I can’t stop!
Hanks recall work that we’ve been doing has been amazing. We’ve basically been working on the intensity that he recalls at, his speed and excitement to get to me as fast as possible. We first started with our long line on a flat collar, letting him walk around and then giving him the recall command and running away from him. This made him build up a lot of speed and it made it super motivating for him to get to me. Now we’ve transferred from the long line to our ecollar or no collar, keeping up the repetition no matter the gear or situation is where we work the most.
