Week 3 Update

Doll and Prion are doing great with their recall work-- I've been calling them each several times on our adventures outside and rewarding with treats. Both dogs were great hiking with our young children. They did not try to herd them in any way, even when both children ran past them. I've been working with both dogs on ski-joring, but with a bicycle (no snow right now!), attached to our other border collie who pulls like a champ. They both are getting it and seem to enjoy pulling in a harness.

Prion LOVES chasing balls. She's happiest when she can have two or three to play with. I am very impressed with how gentle she is when our young children play fetch with her; she drops the ball for them and doesn't crowd them when they pick it up to throw it again. Doll isn't as excited about playing fetch (probably because Prion steals her ball!), but she did enjoy our agility session learning to run through a tunnel. She will do anything for a treat!

Week Two

Both girls have been amazing citizens despite the little exercise they've gotten this week. Our whole family came down with the flu and I was not able to even half-heartedly toss the tennis ball for them for three days. It broke my heart to see four amber eyes imploring me to get my sorry self off the couch each morning. Yesterday, I finally felt well enough for a bike ride and they had a blast! I think Doll is ready to learn bike and ski-joring with a harness. She raced right alongside Brio, our bc, who was dutifully pulling us through the snow. Taking three border collies and a large black mutt out for exercise is definitely not a low profile adventure-- it's more of an outing. Several skiers and snow machiners were on the trail and witnessed the madness. I think I'm becoming The Dog Lady!
