PyrShep Tani: May 2013

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.

A Little Bit Of Everything

I'm getting boring with all these excuses why I haven't updated Tani's blog in months again ... So I'll just let it be and focus on what's important - my furry little energizer bunny :)

Tani is doing well, we attended some private lessons with Martina Magnoli Klimesova in Czech Republic and we learned a lot. We changed our startline routine a bit and reorganized our training schedule to include some new excercises and I'm more than happy with the results so far. Tani seems to really benefit from just a tiny little bit of self-controll games, it's hard to believe how little is needed if only you have somebody to show you HOW :)

I had a seminar with my friend Lukas Aigner in the UK. People were very nice, and I'm particularly happy that some of them keep sending me videos and updating me on their progress with the new moves. That is the most rewarding thing for me, so I hope they keep me posted.

We did a couple of competitons since the last post :) The most important one was B.A.C.K. in Germany where we also said farewell to "our" cute little puppy who left for his new home with Frank. He writes me regularly and they are very happy together. Anyway, back to Tani - she had some fantastic runs there, particularly proud of one 2nd place in jumping (after Silas Boogk).

We also started EO qualis but we will have to wait another month to know who will represent Slovenia in Belgium this year.

And for the future? We have some VERY fun plans :) After EO qualis we are heading to Spain and France for some agility, some hiking and some swimming, we will also visit some friends, so it will be a great little trip. We spent a part of last Summer in Scandinavia which was fun, but this year I'm planning to visit some warmer destinations, I've had it with this Winter already!
