This afternoon




Today we had a very special treat, no I don't mean the new liver treats, which by the by the kids loved. Pace!!! joined us on the trail today. Pace is one of my all time favorite dogs. An aspiring opera singer with a touch of separation anxiety, Pace is the one dog who can really get me running, with joy, all over the place. He loves to be chased and he has this great spring in his step. Parker, as ever, was pine cone obsessed and is starting to show some clear signs of resource guarding when it comes to his pine cone. This is difficult to stem as I can put away his current pine cone, but then he just finds another. I'll have to consult with Positive reinforcement dog trainer JJ North about what techniques to use to stem this behaviour. Blue is great as usual. I think the cold is nice for her as she has such a thick coat.
