congratulations

To Ursa for passing her AKC Canine Good Citizenship test today as well as graduating from her Advanced Training class.

Ursa did wonderfully today, in fact much better than we expected her to do.  We went into todays class expecting every step of the CGC test to be a struggle but Ursa pretty much blew right through every step of the test with flying colors.

Of course, a big special thanks to Amy our most favorite dog trainer of all time for all her help to get a very independent thinking Pyrenees puppy from beginner training all the way through advanced training.

Now to get the two Newfs through the class this next 6 weeks.

Today was Intermediate Obedience graduation day for the Newfs! They both did really well on their “final exams”. Fargo easily won the pushup contest and Sadie blew everyone else away on staying with distractions. Sadly both were shamed by the Border Collie in our class when it came to the speed drills!

They’ll be taking a well deserved (and much needed) couple of weeks off before starting Advanced Obedience at the beginning of next month.
