Day 41

Another sunny day - yeah. I mowed the back lawn and scattered agility equipment about. My goal is to have confident, fearless pups for their forever homes. What I thought would be obstacles and puzzles for the pups turned out to be just speed bumps. If they were running from point A to point B and there was a loose pile of jump standard poles, or a tunnel, or teeter set with a one inch drop or a stack of broad jump boards, the pups just clambered over and continue on without a second glance.

Agility equipment once again litters the yard.
Kaltag got the toy he was carrying through the tire jump then quickly followed.

Tonight I got a completely unexpected award. The SPYteam (Ski Patrol Youth) is a program that my husband and I started 7 years ago. SPYteam is about to become the model for a Jr. Ski Patrol program for the National Ski Patrol System.
