Happy Birthday, Kharma





At one year of age she knows these commands:
  • sit
  • lie down
  • play dead
  • roll over
  • spin
  • bring the... ball, squeaky toy, wire hoop, frisbee, or bone by name
  • drop
  • wait
  • stay
  • cross the street
  • jump on and off
  • heel

She also knows that she has to sit or we won't throw her frisbee. And she loves her frisbee and is great at catching it and bringing it back. She's getting better when told to leave something alone. We are working toward greater control off-leash and she's improving constantly. She is off-leash all the way to the pasture and back every morning for frisbee. We've found treats are very motivating. We can't thank Jeanie, our trainer, enough for all the helpful hints during our class.

We need to work on "come" till she has it perfectly. Then we can start agility training...yippee!

Meanwhile, I've got to get busy making her birthday cake and another batch of doggie treats.

WE HAVE THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD!!!
