Ravioli!!

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

Yes a new puppy!! Ravioli, or Ravi for short, is a sighthound called a Windsprite.

Why a windsprite? I had been crushing on Koolies, and some herding dog mixes but realized that it wasn't the right time in my family's life to add more oomph to our house. My household is "a lot" right now with the kids, and Loot already struggles with it at the intense times.

And even a playful lab or golden is a bit too much. Vaughn was a great foster and wasn't bothered at all by the kids, but he was also GAME ON! for joining in on the chaos!

Windsprites are reported to be great, chill, family dogs that can sleep thorugh the insanity. And hopefully once we're through the puppy stage Ravi will live up to that goal! And we will train for some sports too!

Right now we've spent the first week working on all things crate and xpen related!

Expect that june's video wrap up be full of puppy videos! And while I haven't posted many yet on social media, expect to be spammed there soon!

Bye Bye Cookie

Are you frustrated? Feeling like you’ve put a lot of time and effort into training the skills your dog needs to be successful, but training still feels very transactional and you're struggling to make it into the ring and keep your dog's focus when the food is gone.

In this class, we will help your dog develop the ability to work and focus even when there is no reward on your body. We will build up your dog's ability to work no matter where the reward is located and without any type of lid to prevent stealing!

Follow me on the social media platform of your choice to try and catch all my daily training videos. I hope they inspire you to try something fun with your dog! And join my free facebook group on building ring confidence for dog sports!

How Does the Dog Know if They're Wrong? I wrote a blog! This one is on how does the dog know they're wrong?I reward error a ton in my training. I often refer to them as Pity Cookies! My priority is that the dog stays in the game and wants to keep trying. Sometimes after an error I need to interrupt if it's part of a chain. But I try to make it playful and don't really care if the dog knows if they're wrong or not! I am not aiming for errorless and I don't panic when they happen. I keep...

I am splitting my monthly email in 2 this month because there is just so much! This email will be an update on the household, next one will have my normal monthly videos. Goodbye Vaughn! We said goodbye to Vaughn this week. We had Vaughn for just over 2 months to evaluate his temperament as a service dog and then put some skills on him! And he made it easy for me as with a little bit of patience and knowing how to break things down, he blossomed. Not the fastest learner at the start, but very...
