Before camp started, Liz Battista followed Shirley's suggestion and tried
a Gentle Leader on Clown, one of two Smooth Fox Terriers she brought to the
camp. Clown has a tendency to go after other dogs, and the Gentle Leader
calmed him down a lot!
While Shirley was working with Liz, Gail Rampke let Piper, her
Wire Fox Terrier, explore the agility equipment. When Piper
enthusiastically tackled the dog walk, Gail had to come to her
rescue -- Piper decided she was just a lot higher off the ground
than she wanted to be!

The first order of business at any camp with Shirley is doggie greeting.
Those stiff little Terrier tails were wagging furiously, even when the
greeting (like the one above one between Tracy Pierce's Cairn, Emma, and
Gail Rampke's Wirehaired Fox Terrier, Piper) was a little cautious. Below,
Jeanne Wightman -- a long-distance camper who hails from Florida -- gives
her Wire Fox Max a play break with his favorite toy.

Linda Legare has the smallest four-legged camper -- Vivian, all of five
pounds of what appears to be a dwarf (or at least unusually small)
Jack Russell Terrier.
And Ann Goeschke lures her little Cairn, Gideon, over the A-frame.
Well, it's about time! (The pizza delivery guy got lost!). That's Ina Davis
digging in, and Shirley's husband, Jim Isaacs Sr., behind her.
