This past weekend was chock full of dog events and training. Friday I took Zap to the Collie Club show at AK9C to hang out and socialize. He met his older brother Teller and got to play with litter mate Sam! Saturday I spent most of the day training/playing with the dogs. The yard was fairly dry and I got in some nice agility practice with the girls and started Apollo with the weave poles. Zap is loving the tippy plank and wobble board. His finger pick ups are getting faster and I started the cone game with him (sending him out and around a cone). Truly's weave pole entries are improving and she is keeping her head down and driving through. Julie pointed out in class last week that her head was too high. Made some adjustments and lowering my hand at the end of the poles helped a lot (thank you Julie!) Sunday was the NE Sporting Group Assoc. Dog Show in Fitchburg, MA. We went to watch and cheer for Summer (half sis to Truly & Zap).
Bob brought Zap in to experience the show scene and Zappy seemed to drink it all in! Apollo came along for the ride and I worked some loose leash walking and a little bit of attention heeling with him. The highlight for Apollo was being able to give Kara big golden HUGS! We also did a little shopping....bought a new soft crate and a dog bed. We got home and took Max, Molly, Siena and Truly for a long walk. Then the boys from next door came over to play with the pup.
