I started a new on-line TRICK DOGGING TITLING LEVELS program just five days ago. February, Valentine’s, and love gifts, were my motivation for this being the kick off month. I am a huge fan of TIME with your dog being the best gift of all, so what better way to spend time than teaching tricks! And in my opinion the ultimate Valentine’s gift!

Well the videos are coming in, and it is so exciting to me! This program is great for our home school Teams, dogs that do better in a less distracting environment, remote Teams who live way far away, etc. It gives ALL Teams around the world a way to participate, be included, feel included, and have fun goals for training.

Our first Team to TITLE in LEVEL I, is a Team I have known since the get go. I have watched their successes, their challenges, and their frustrations. I have seen a Team that thought life would be one way, and it turned out to be a whole new path. There is no lack of work for them just to get through life as we know it, but there is also no lack of love either. They inspire me for so many reasons. And I kind of fell for this giant chunk of caramel love, known as Mishra. Congratulations!!!

from Sara – “Mishra and I have been learning together since day one. When we first met Nancy, Mishra was only 9 weeks old and it was our first day of puppy class. I’ll never forget Nancy’s immediate reaction to my adorable new family member. It was essentially, ” She’s very sensitive, you have a lot of work to do. And why isn’t she wearing a coat!” We took this advice very seriously and when she started showing signs of fear and aggression towards strangers, we learned more and worked harder. We also bought her a coat.
