Fergie11's Blog – March 2009 Archive (6)

Fergie and I had our first walk on our country trail by the house. It's got 1 1/2 mile stretch with no roads and at this time of year not any other people either. No leash necessary. It was so nice even though it was cold outside. It was fun to watch Lucy (8 wks) chase her older sister. We went about 3/4 mile total. I worked on teaching Lucy to come when called and sit in front of me. She was very hungry and I fed her her kibble as we walked. This worked really good. She's already coming to me… Continue

Fergie and I went to our 4th obedience class today. She is 13 months but we've never gone to obedience, I've just done a lot of reading and bought a few video's. I think Fergie is doing great. The teacher snuck over to me and whispered in my ear that I've got a "wonder dog". She just loves her (Not as much as me). I just want to encourage anyone who has a doodle to take them to class.

Fergie is having a good time with… Continue

Today Fergie and I had our second basic obedience class. I've done good with her at home on my own but we want to take the Canine Good Citizen test in mid-May so I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing and that she could behave in a room full of strange dogs. She's doing wonderfully. The instructor said she'll breeze right through that test. I like this obedience thing - I may go on with a lot more of it. What I need to know and I'll ask next week but when they have the obedience… Continue

OK she's not so perfect. She just wouldn't sleep last night. I could hear her playing with her barking cow and every other noisy toy she has. I get up and WHAT?????

The Barking Cow is Dead!!!!! Oh My!
