Happy Friday! Loki's released his first two short videos: Training for NitWits. Don't try this at home kids.
Here are two videos of Loki doing a "down during a recall" exercise. One thing I learned is that it's a lot harder to handle your dog and video at the same time than it seems. Body language and consistency is important so Loki hesitates in the second video because he can't understand what my hand signal is telling him behind the video cam.
Loki & Juno get their awesome training from The K-9 Clinic in Corralitos. Go check them out! (Guess who built and maintains their site??)
Read more about NitWit Bridge's story, how it got its name and with photos.
Loki's First Try at Night: He pretty much nails it. Sorry for the dark video. There was no natural light at 7 PM!
The next day we went back to get a video in the day time:
When he's not traveling, Mr. Wild Dingo calls me a few times a day and asks, "Are the dogs using the treehouse?" Well, now he's been in Asia all week and has emailed me, "are the dogs using the treehouse?"
No Honey, I don't think they're using the treehouse:
I still think this is the lokhation fur a future season of Survivor!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra
Khyra does have a great idea there. But I am betting Loki and Juno would be the survivors. I sure would root for them!
We will ditto both of those comments. Great job, Loki!!!
Happy weekend, the OP Pack
Great job Loki!!!
We need our own tree house but not our own bridge cuz the princess would be scared of the bridge. She doesn't like surfaces that move.
Bricey
You two are SO brave!!! I don't think I'd try the bridge OR the tree house!
Love,
Ammy
I went back and read the posts on the construction of the tree house (will read the remodel in a minute) and I think it is soooo cool! I don't think Storm would appreciate one (afraid of heights) but I know the goats would LOVE it!
Videos were great too. I enjoyed listening to your German. What were you saying when praising him? I don't know much, just some of the basic obedience commands in German and French.
I still shudder at the thought of swaying on that bridge and watching my life pass before my eyes. This spectator thing works for me!
That's impressive! Where are you?
