PyrShep Tani: Puppy Class Exam

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 Exam

Tani successfully completed the finals for her puppy class. Yes, we have actual finals: doggies must show they can come when called (even if they are playing with their friends), heel in all directions (ignoring all distractions), wait in sit and down position (again, with distractions), show some tricks ... Tani did very well, not as perfectly as she could have, but very well anyway. I was very proud of her. At the same time, I was sad that the class would end, as we were having so much fun with Silvia. But then she told us that she decided to have another tricks class for us, so we will be attending her lessons all Summer, yaaaay! Seems like Tani will be a real Circus dog by the time she's one year old :)

Biiiig thanks to Daša Zakotnik for this beautiful picture of Tani:

Amber-Mae said...: What fun! Here in our country, we usually have examinations too. It is certainly not as fun as yours though because it's all about serious stuff, no tricks, no fun. Congrats Tani!
