Don’t skip the boring stays.

A few weeks ago, Alenka could not hold a long down for very long. Now she is getting much calmer, even outside at home in our street.

This is not only useful for training. It helps so much at night markets, in front of shops, or when you stop to talk to someone.

Soon we will add more distractions.

This looks simple, but it is an important part of Sandy’s search and rescue training.

In the obedience part of the SAR test, the dog has to go away from the handler to a cone and lie down there.

It tests distance control, focus, and whether the dog can follow commands even when she is away from me.

Search work is not only about finding people.It is also about control, trust, and clear communication.

A new chapter begins for Sandy and me.

Last weekend we joined our first training with K9 USAR Thailand. Sandy got to search, run, learn, and work in a new team environment.

I’m thankful for everyone who supported us on our SAR K9 journey so far, and excited to continue learning with Sandy.

Thank you for the warm welcome, the training, and these nice photos.

Sandy never had a strong tug drive, so I’m testing what makes play fun for her.

I added webbing straps to new toys for tugging and training rewards.

The yellow honeycomb tug toy was the surprise. Sandy liked it more than expected.

For Alenka, I sewed a ball inside cotton canvas, and she loved it.

This is just the beginning. We’ll keep trying different toys, textures, and ideas to find what works best.

Instead of throwing Alenka’s toy again and again, I hid it in some fallen branches and let her find it by herself.
She had to slow down, use her nose, and really search for the toy.
For many dogs, this can be more tiring than just running after a ball, because they have to think and use their sense of smell.
Simple dog enrichment, no fancy equipment needed.
Send this to a friend who always throws the toy.

Three months ago, we adopted Alenka. She already came with a good base, but she still had to learn our daily life: potty training, staying calm, waiting at the gate, and not jumping out of the car. The best part is how much joy she brought. She makes Sandy more active, is the perfect playmate, and loves cuddling with humans. In just 3 months, we already shared so many nice moments together.

Friday at AnyHound with Sandy, Alenka and Heidi.

Running, playing, rolling, and doing all the important dog things. Some days are not about training. Some days are just about letting them be dogs, enjoy the space, and have fun together.

Heidi fitted perfectly into the chaos, so this one belongs on both profiles.

Some days are just about running, getting wet, and being happy dogs.
Sandy and Alenka had the best time outside, exploring the grass, playing around, and looking way too proud of their muddy wet faces. These two are very different, but together they make every dog-friendly place in Thailand more fun.
Small adventures like this are exactly why we love taking them with us.

A few weeks ago, Sandy and Alenka were fully ready to chase this cat.

So we started far away and worked step by step. Every time they focused too much on the cat, I redirected them back to me.

Now they can stand closer, stay on a loose leash, and still listen.

For me, this is real dog training: small progress, repeated many times.

Sandy joined me at a Thai Buddhist monk ordination ceremony in Nonthaburi. There was loud music, dancing, people everywhere, and later the quiet part inside the ordination hall.
For Sandy, this was not just a ceremony. It was real-life exposure training. Staying calm in loud and busy places is also part of the journey.
