Today’s field trip theme was
Dogs on logs!!!!
Everyone did a fantastic job posing for their picture! This is one of the ways a place behavior comes in super handy. I just pointed and they went right up!

Walton will hopefully make his tunneler's debut this weekend. As always with Walton, I don't have high hopes, but it will probably be entertaining. He is one of the most unpredictable dogs I've ever met as far as where his attention span might be on any given day. One thing that has really been helping is that we have actually been practicing every single day, and it is crazy what some consistency will do for you. We have most of the fence up around the dog yard at the Colona property. The main purpose of that yard is just to have somewhere to contain our dogs as we work on other parts of the property but until we get an actual training field it is also functioning as a temporary workspace. The ground is a bit uneven, and there are some gravel and rocky spots so we can't go all out sprinting around, but there is enough flat space and grass to work some drills and practice skills. Having the equipment already out and set up makes it much easier to actually utilize. Having to drag everything out every time I want to work on something is a giant brain barrier for me. I actually like snow, but for the sake of being able to train outside longer, I wouldn't mind a more mild winter this year.

Today was Rat Day! The dogs love this activity. Rat hunting is such a fun way to tap into their natural instincts and give the pups who love sniffing out critters an opportunity to put their noses to work. Some of them are still saying hello and getting used to the smell and that’s fine too!

Today’s canine fitness activity was introducing the dogs to the wobble board! Wobble boards are a great tool for building body awareness, balance, coordination, and core strength. They encourage dogs to think about where their feet are, how they’re shifting their weight, and how to adjust their bodies as the surface moves beneath them.
You’ll notice I rolled up two yoga mats and put them on either side. When starting this we don’t want it to move around a ton or bang on the ground. Too much movement and loud noises is a really easy way to scare any dog. Today every single one of them investigated the wobble board on their own and even if they were startled when it started to move they instantly came back and tried again. Super proud of this group today!

We had an disastrous walk today. Nothing terrible actually happened, no one got hurt and everyone came home alive. However, every single one of these dogs gave me a very hard time. Shandy is twelve and no longer thinks stay applies to her. Saison was on warp speed and also couldn't hold a stay to save her life. Her manic energy is very contagious to the rest of the dogs. Marzen actually wasn't terrible, but he did need constant reminders to stay on the path. I don't really have anything bad to say about Kolsch. Sazz broke her stay to greet a jogger. She never breaks her stay to see people so I have no idea why this man was so special. I had all the dogs in a stay off the trail so he could pass, but instead, he insisted on stopping to talk to us even though I was telling him to please keep moving. While I was calling Sazz back Mundie lost her cool and ran at the guy barking. She did stop before she reached him. In that chaos Marzen and Shandy, both broke their stay and ran up to him too. Shandy was just going to say hello, but Marzen is afraid of men, so I have no idea what he thought he was doing. It's kind of a bummer, because Mundie hasn't had a reaction at a person in a long time. I really hate when people comment on what a great job I'm doing keeping the dogs under while also stopping to make it harder. Anyway, everyone got out of there unscathed, but it was very stressful it took a while to get everybody back under threshold. Lately Gose takes her sweet time coming when called. She's not going to run away and she will come quickly when she's ready, but she's gonna finish what she's doing first. I don't mind a bit of agency, but it's becoming a problem so we're gonna have to work on that. And for whatever reason, Walton is back to harassing Sazz like crazy. The break was nice while it lasted, but he's probably gonna have to go back on leash for a little while. I did have to tackle him and carry him back to the van because he was being such a bully. He screamed the whole time because he's a baby. Most of this happened while on tiktok live. Not embarrassing at all. 🫠
