A Little of Everything, a Lot of Terrier Talk
|
And of course, breaks for runs in the big fenced field!

Jumping was the order of the day (it seems to come naturally to these
terriers) -- but the real challenge came when Shirley hauled out a
rocking horse and mused about the possibilities of teaching a dog to
jump on its saddle. Liz Battista's Smooth Fox, Clown, was getting
pretty darned close by the end of the day!
|
And speaking of jumpers, Vivian, the pint-sized Jack Russell Terrier,
is a camp favorite, with her endless enthusiasm.

Tracy Pierce's Cairn, Emma, has touched a target disk on the ground
but wouldn't touch the target stick Tracy held. The solution? Put
the target stick on the ground!

Gideon KNOWS he's cute!

Shirley calls this exercise "learning about back feet."
First the dogs learn to navigate through a gated "chute" forward
and backing up; then (left) Ina Davis works to take her Welsh Terrier,
Loki, through a house ladder on the ground. The next step is to click
the dog for backing up through the chute, as the dog's feet hit poles
on the ground -- then to click the dog as it backs through the ladder!
