Tani ...

... was born in a litter of 4 puppies on December 25th 2008. She spent the first two months of her life in the Loubajac kennel in the French Pyrenees. Her mother is Pecquelette de Loubajac and her father Hob-Nob's Victor.

When she came to stay with me, we started Silvia Trkman's puppy school, followed by Sivia's tricks class and later on agility handling classes in LoLaBu training center. We do everything using only positive training techniques. We are very fond of Silvia and her dogs, specially the crazy little La who is Tani's 3/4 sister. We also attended handling classes with Daša Zakotnik and Polona Bonač.

Tani has many passions in her life. The biggest one is agility, of course, but she also loves playing with her beagle sister and BFF Xsara, hiding her toys in the most odd places, running through the fields and meadows, playing with sheep and eating.

Puppy Class and a Trip to Bohinj

Water has always been my favorite element. I love swimming and I would love my dogs to swim with me. Xsara is not impressed by water at all, going inside up to her tummy is totally enough as far as she's concerned. For a while it looked like Tani was not much of an acquamaniac herself, but the other day she played in a pond with her sheltie puppy friend and they were having so much fun that I decided to give it a try again as soon as possible. Today we took the girls for a trip to Bohinj where we went for a long walk by a beautiful lake. I was playing with Tani on the shore and at a certain point threw a stick into the lake. At first she entered the water slowly and carefully, but very soon she realized that it was fun, so she got more and more comfortable running and jumping around like a little furry maniac and she even swam a little. Yay!


We also filmed the material for Tani's part 4 of puppy tricks. I haven't edited it yet, but in the meantime I'm posting this video of Silvia's puppy class, also featuring my clever little girl:


Pretty cool, isn't it? We're having so much fun in this class, I wish it would never end!

Wow! This is amazing! I've never seen puppies at this age in various breeds & sizes this good. This Silvia must be a really good trainer. I wish we had a trainer as good as her in our country. I'm most awed at that Pug. Never seen a Pug so attentive while heeling & can do tough tricks like those before. This is just so fun to watch. Thanks for sharing. Tani looks cute by the way.

Smoochies,
