Bogie ate one of the cones. So much for boundaries.
A good weekend on the fields....
Ragnar accomplishes another goal by not going into crazy mode when being close to other dogs. He was prob 30-40 ft from 10 dogs this weekend. The only time he lost his cool was when an Airedale terrier barked and lunged at him. A big Basset hound barked and howled at him but Ragnar didn’t blink an eye. Lol, looked at him and gave him the “really, bro??” look.
Really have to give a lot of credit to the prong collar, it keeps him in check and he looks to me for direction when he feels it. Surprised I am, that we were on the fields all weekend and not one snide remark about the prong collar.
Won the hearts and minds of at least 50 people too. A lot of folks and kids wanted to meet and pet him. I found it awesome that almost all of them approached slowly and requested to pet him, even the small kids.
I heard many times, “Wow, look!!! There’s a Doberman.”
If they could see him now... not so stioc and regal looking at the moment-knocked out on the couch snoring.
Oh no! The worst my dogs have done with boundary training is creeping feet over the line! Bogie obliterated the line.View attachment 87445 Bogie ate one of the cones. So much for boundaries.

I was admiring the ability to have two Dobermans at one time and asked how hard is it to be successful?
Both Bri and GennyB gave great answers!!
Bacall was on the love seat when I noticed it missing. She had a look of “it was him not me”, so I walk onto the porch and caught him. His look was priceless.
It’s an awesome feeling when they finally get it.
Great job Ragnar!!!

I'm jealous of all your greenery!!
One of our agility classmates set up a course in his backyard and had a bunch of us over to run some courses.
All the puppers lined up! We kept Rubie out too late last night so she wasnt feeling it but Moo surprised me! He was going over the 8" bars with the other fundamental students.

He keeps impressing me and everybody. He is something else.
I see Moose's head and paws are already looking slightly bigger than Rubie's.

Master was cleaning the garage so I reintroduced the long leash. Shortened it enough so he couldn't go too far out of the garage, but he seemed to enjoy staying close by to supervise.

He is going to be a stocky boy, for sure!
LOVE seeing Blaze work!! When will you compete with him?

A very cool breeze on Saturday so we turned off the AC and opened up the house. It was dark out and it got late while we had the garage door open. I went looking for Kaiser and he had dragged his blanket out to the garage so he could keep an eye on things.
There he is!
Some delivery guy stopped in front of the driveway and Kaiser sprang into action. I went to him and he was standing upright totally alert and watching. He stopped barking when I stood next to him. Once the guy was gone, he watched the empty driveway and then went back in to the house to patrol the whole floor before returning to his new snooze spot. It was interesting to observe him.

Shooting for late September early October. My club is having our trial on October 13th. There are 3 others all within 3 hours of my house during that time period. May try to do them all. The DVG National Championship is 2nd weekend in November Waine is trying to get us ready for that too.

So I guess that means no UDC fall classic for you since it is also Oct 13
