Road trips, new dogs, friendly people and swimming

That says it all!

Hoot went to an overnight USDAA trial with Split and Tangle this weekend. What an awesome traveler she was.  It was only about a 2 hour car ride, she slept the whole way.

The trial was outdoors which made it perfect for her to run and play with other dogs and kids.  She had such a great time.  I am super pleased with her greeting skills with other dogs.  She seems to read them really well.  She spends a moment figuring out the dog, and then can accurately peg who is going to tolerate her rude jumping in their face behavior and who isn't.

Each time I had to go run or walk the course I was really surprised at how patient she was waiting in her kennel until I came to get her.

Hoot and Seeker

This morning I decided that Hoot needed more new experiences.  She takes each one on so well.  I introduced her to the lake.  Split jumped right in and began swimming around.  Hoot couldn't handle not being able to get to her favorite guy so she jumped in after him.  Didn't phase her at all!

Today is the day she begins to learn a bit of self control.  She is getting REALLY obnoxious with her other pack mates and everyone is about really to give her back.  We will begin with It's your choice games!
