Well after much practice I did see an improvement in Jades approach to Fetch It during our July event. Normally she would be barely grabbing these by the hair of her chinny chin chin. But as you can see her pop and approach has significantly improved. Still a young gal with a bright future so we’ll see how far we can push this young lady. Rip showing off his ninja skills in the end 🤣 as always thank you big time Sweet As Tea Photography LLC for such fantastic memories. Even in the pouring rain you’ve managed to capture great shots!!! And my Tracks K9 Club family for a fantastic time 😉.

We’ve had a busy month lots to catch up on. Enjoy an agility bit with Rip!

Mazikeen inspired training to get your dog to POP!! Seems to be paying off! I normally start at 10ft UNWRAPPED and now Jade starts at 11ft double wrapped. We only practice wrapped up now so this weekend will let us know if it’s truly working 🙏 also only use 25ft of dock. That’s a little over half the dock. Jade likes to overthink and recalculate last minute. Typical herding breed BS! 🤪

Yakka just made the cut for BPUP at this last weekend’s Ocala WEC shows. Great practice and did snag a group 4 on her first day!! She discovered people leave all their bait/cookies on the floor so watching the ground was more fun on Sunday. 🤣 way better than gator rolling on a leash so I’ll take that as a win!!!! Good pup.

Also ringside nap times hit hard for this one. Can’t ask for a better show disposition in a 4 month old!!

Last set of vaccines for this feral dingo and she’ll be on the loose. First stop… CONFORMATION CLASS!!!!!!

when I say feral it’s quite accurate. People are wonderful. Dogs also no big deal. But a leash? Ugh!!!!!!! Might as well call it abuse. She does like mountain goatin’ things so the ramp or table should be easy.

Fender (new name tbd) is off to join some ladies in Puerto Rico!

I’ve had some unlucky years with all these rams. So happy these boys are off to have some fun 🥰😉

Proof she can pop!! A “good” distance for Jade is 12 feet. Yikes!!!! Yet somehow she can find the UMPH to catch a bumper at 14 ft. Silly girl I’m gonna figure you out!! Never give up on your dog just keep trying different methods no matter how strange they feel.

And then there’s rip just living his best bad ass life 🥰 oh and he’s available girlies!!! I need a keeper Rip boy so if anyone is interested in working with me I’m pretty reasonable and realistic.

Hopefully the last picture I get of this very capable cattle dog jumping so flat 🙄 give this girl a fetch-it / AR rig and her pop is quite impressive! We’ve been doing ground work and starting to see some progress. Y’all pray it keeps improving before our July event! Love ya Jade but no more excuses I know you can do it!!
