Frasier came to live in my home 3 years ago today. He changed my life!!

Paris passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC)test last night. I am very proud of her. We have been training for several months. The dog has to pass 10 skills. If one of the skills is not passed, the dog flunks the entire test. Paris is now Calypso Kiss 'N Tell CGC.

These are more camping pictures that Robin took.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Paris!

We went camping and had a blast! Frasier and Paris also got to go swimming. Other than going to training classes and when I drove 280 miles to get Paris, almost 2 years ago, it was their first trip away from home. Below are a few pictures.

Frasier has had his last Advanced Agility class until June 7, when another session starts up. I wish the session would have ended a week earlier; it would have been on a more positive note! I totally messed him up and it showed in his performance. I have to remember to have FUN....don't get too serious! Sheesh.

Paris' 8-week Beginning Home Companion class ended last night. Her Certificate of Completionn is already framed and on the wall in the grooming room. She also had perfect attendance! Her Advanced Home Companion session doesn't start until the week of June 28. It seems that dogs get a summer break.

It is very hard to describe how much fun I am having training my dogs. They are extremely responsive and easy to train. Paris is thriving in obedience. She absolutely loves 'school'. The drive takes about 25 minutes and she is in her crate 'mumbling' the entire drive. When Frasier and I first started advanced agility, I felt like we were both in too deep. However, he has made huge strides of improvement. Last night I actually had 2 people comment that I obviously am working with him during the week....that's not true! He is just learning and loving it week to week. Training classes do take a chunk of my time, but it is so worth it.
