Tracking

Every Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday I track Danni. Today we won't be able to go until later this afternoon. Tomorrow will be the same. We're also doing protection tomorrow. Tracking is something Danni is good at and it's something that I think clears both of our heads. It's a lot of fun to see my dog do something so intently. If only her obedience was the same way!

New Blog - Better Training

I'm not good at starting off blogs by any means, but my name is Katie, and I am the proud owner of a nice working line German Shepherd female named Danni. This blog is to update on our training progress, mostly for myself, as I tend to blab on and on about things that don't make a lot of sense to anyone else. Here's a photo of the two of us:

Anyway, right now Danni is almost two years old; she'll be two on Christmas Eve. We started training Schutzhund in February and I'm hoping to get our BH in spring of 2012. This blog will be our journey from 0 to Schutzhund III. Right now we're working on spicing up our heeling, doing our out-of-motion exercises and tightening up our recall. I'm also trying my hardest to get her out to track three times a week. We do protection twice a week. It's a fun ordeal, and I'm having a blast and learning so much along the way. She's taught me SO MUCH about dogs and about Schutzhund.
