Cyper Rally-O

Cyber Rally-O offers the opportunity for you and your dog to participate in this fun sport by video entry. Fearful and reactive dogs can have fun and earn titles in an environment that is comfortable for them. All dogs (and their people) are welcome! ~ Cyber Rally-O Yahoogroup

First time I entered a ring at an AKC event with any of my dogs was in March 2005 with Rylie. We did good and she earned her Rally Novice tile the following trial. I was so proud of her. She was nervous, I was nervous, but we did it. Raygen earned his RA and Ryker earned his RAE. At this time I am not able to enter any trials with Ryddick due to his unpredictabilty towards humans. Cyber Rally-O gives me the oppurtunity to enter via video. No people around (or only close friends) anywhere, anytime :)

Super Adoption

On Sunday, May 1st, I volunteered to help at the Super Adoption in Salt Lake. I am glad I did it. I was going to keep count of how many dogs I walkded, however I lost count at 3 :) All I could think of was letting them sniff and hopefully poop and pee and maybe even roll in the grassy area for a few seconds. I walked dogs from 9am until 2pm. I had a hard time choosing which dog to take out of a kennel. There were so many to chose from. I am looking forward n doing this again next year.

Bailey

On July 22nd I offered to foster a tiny Chihuahua/Dachshund mix thinking she would get adopted in a few weeks. She had some fear issues with people, places and large dogs, although anything was larger then her tiny 5lb body. I took her to Agility trials and socialized her with the help of my friends. She has been attending ever puppy playtime during my puppy classes and sat on the sidelines during the other classes. She has become a bubbly fun little dog. She is operant and has shown some great athleticism doing flips and jump-flip-twist-push-of-your-leg-bounces. She sits, downs, rolls over, has an amazing recall and does some funky break dance routine when she feels she is waiting to long to hear the clicker sound.
After she got spayed and her her excess teeth pulled she amazed me with her tugging abilities.

Well, it is October 25th and she is still with me. So, I enrolled her in a basic manners class to get her Resume looking better. She is a very special dog and her future home will absolutely adore her.
