Freya and Axle like this cat in Young at Heart Shelter

Here is Freya W. watching a white cat in the Young at Heart cat room in the lobby at Best Friends Pet Motel.  It is nice to have distractions to practice with the dogs in Board and Train.

Now here comes Axel W. checking out the same playful cat in the shelter in the lobby. I think these dogs would like to bring this cat home.  This cat really interacts well with the dogs I come over and visit.  Watch an obedience pattern with Axel and Freya.  You can see me swing Axel around while using a tug to stimulate, motivate and then reward.

ARCHX Lefty, RL2X (AOE), RL1X4 (AOE)

On November 20-21, 2010 Cathi O. and her 2 dogs ARCHX Jazzy, CD-H, RL3 (AOE), RL2X4 (AOE), RL1X5 (AOE), CW-SR1, CW-ZR1, CGC and ARCHX Lefty, RL2X (AOE), RL1X4 (AOE) CW-SR1, CW-ZR1,CGC went for a ride to Missouri to show her dogs in an APDT Rally Obedience.  Cathi is one of my clients that usually expects to do well so when she is about to advance she'll only go where they give nice rosettes, ribbons and trophies.  Well here is Lefty's ARCHX ribbon. Look closely there are tassels too. Congratulations and keep up the great work.  Lefty was a rescue and for him to accomplish this is outstanding considering some of the baggage he came with.  Cathi started with Lefty as a foster but realized he needed a special person to show him that the world does not have to be such a scary place.  Lefty is a Box-Cat which is a mix of a Boxer and an Australian Cattle Dog.  Check, You Tube, then Allan Ross Dog Training to see some of Lefty's practice routines. I video Rally Obedience practice sessions so handlers can see how they are handling the leash.

Recalls with the Big Dogs

Here are a couple of the Rottweiler Dogs I see in Board and Train.  Freya is about 7 years old and Axel is about 3.  They have both worked in Rally obedience and Axel has his Championship in the AKC show ring.  I held my camera sideways then edited the video and this is what I got.

This is URO2 Sciroco’s Freya vom Viersen RL1 (AOE), CGC, TT She comes fast and does a finish on the right. Now here here comes Multi V-rated CH Precious Gems Axel vom Viersen RN, CGC

I've been spending time this Thanksgiving working both of these friends in our very busy lobby at Best Friends.  I show them off and we socialize at the same time. While in the lobby why not watch the camp dogs play. 

Also see Axel and Freya work on a pattern with me.  Thanks Kathi, I love when you go on vacation, Allan.
