After careful consideration, PAISLEY II has been released from advanced training. Paisley’s occasional unpredictable barking in public continues and that helped us to decide it was time to look at other career options as unpredictable barking in cape is incompatible...

PAISLEY II has been practicing her default ‘leave its’ and has been getting better and better at it. She does best when she knows that it is a set up, but she is catching on pretty quick! She continues to enjoy working with interrupters and getting one on one time...

PAISLEY II is spending her weeks in the advanced kennel working with Ashley and playing with her fellow kennel mates. She is enjoying trying out interrupter skills the most out of all the new things she has worked on! She has been practicing going out on field trips...

PAISLEY II joined advanced training recently and has been out with her advanced sitter practicing various skills such as ‘dress’, ‘go in’ and loose leash walking. Paisley has strong duration obedience and has been practicing it paired with default ‘leave it’ for food...

We are working on polishing all the things Paisley knows. We have not been out and about for two months so we are looking forward for the lifting of the restrictions. We go for walks along the Lake if no one else is around and it serves as a distraction from the...

We’ve not been out and about this past month, because of all the travel restrictions. Instead, we’ve been reviewing and improving all the things that we have already done. I have let Paisley have a little more running time out in the field as we have not...

It is very hard to give a true evaluation in this puppy report under the circumstances. This month, so many things in the world are different! Paisley loves children and could play with them all day long if I let her. She is still very much a puppy and loves life and...

We visited a Day Care in Invermere. There were 21 children present and Paisley had such a good time! The children loved her very much. She was very good and sat in the middle of the circle, while I explained to the children what she was all about and why she had the...

Paisley and I are working on off leash training. She is doing okay but can be interested in other dogs that come along. This is not a problem when the leash is on, so she should be able to work through his distraction soon. We also went to the extended care unit and...

We are working on holding Stay for longer periods of time, and learning Roll and Over. It all seems to be coming together. We are also working on getting Paisley out in the town more as she tends to lapse if she doesn’t continue to work. Paisley did not like her...

We are working on backing up, roll and over, and off leash in town. Paisley is doing well in all of these skills. We also went to puppy class in Calgary. Very exciting! Submitted By: Kathy...

Paisley loves the Agility Tunnel, and has fun running around the other dogs and going through it as fast as she can. She does wonder why she is not allowed to jump on or travel up the other equipment, though. We are working off-leash this month, which is proving to be...

We are still working on Paisley’s duration in a “sit”. She enjoys our trips and training in town, but sometimes gets a little sloppy if we don’t go to town every day. Submitted By: Kathy...

We drove into Calgary for Puppy Class in August and Paisley did very well. We are still working on loose-leash walking while we walk about in town. She does very well sometimes, but strays a little bit – there are lots of distractions. Submitted By: Kathy...

Paisley has been a great joy these last two months. Not because she has done anything special as far as training or fun things, but because she has been a great comfort to me (her puppy raiser), as my daughter passed away and we have been on long quiet walks...

I am very proud of Paisley. We went to downtown Invermere to watch the start of the Rocky Mountain Rally 2019. It was crowded and very exciting. As the rally cars took off from the start line, their exhaust was very loud, but Paisley did extremely well. Submitted By:...

Paisley had an exciting surprise this month – her first puppy-raiser, Amy, came from Calgary to visit her in Invermere, and they went for a hike with PAD Valour, high above Windermere Lake. Valour is Paisley’s half sister, and they had lots of fun running...

We are working on rolling over, putting on her cape, better go now, finding things she is not used to and working on no stress. Submitted By: Kathy...

We went visiting to Columbia House. (Extended Care Unit) She enjoyed that as the Clients talked to her and she sat while they stroked her. We went to a Drop in at a Kennel Club where she got to play with other dogs for a few minutes. We are working Shake a Paw, settle...

We went to Bonspiel on the Lake which was fun except that we had a little trouble standing on the ice and couldn’t really play with the other puppies. We are working on the shake hands and on keeping all four feet on the ground. We’re also working on...

Pupdate: Paisley can be stubborn, but usually if I wait her out she decides that it’s not fun anymore and we work through it.We have just been catching up on one or two things and not doing too much over Christmas. we think it will be fun to do a little clicker...

Pupdate: We travelled to a Dog Show and at the show Paisley loved seeing all the other dogs. She seemed to accept all the noise, other barking dogs and the very large building that echoed. When she had to go in her kennel and was left alone for 20 minutes she settled...

Paisley has engaged with many children this month. She has attended music and soccer lessons, and has been to a kids’ indoor play facility. She really did well in many noisy locations including restaurants, waiting rooms, hospitals and toys stores. Submitted By:...
