Silver had a sleepover with Odie last month at her home and had a great time. Both dogs behaved wonderfully. Not a problem at all. She visited the mall with Levi, and they spent a couple of hours working on down, sit, stand, with another dog, and lots of distractions...

A good month for Silver. She is getting better at staying in the appropriate heel-loose leash place. She still thinks a Lab is something to play with. Dog distraction remains her big bug a boo. She had a couple of great walks with her best bud Levi and a few walks on...

She is an amazing dog to work with. Always eager to work. Always eager to please. When she learns something new, she learns it fast, and it seems to stick. We are so proud of the work she has done. She is off for assessment in Burnaby to see if she is ready for...

Silver continues to shine. She is a very active dog. Silver has her head on a swivel watching everything but is getting much better at loose leash walking. If I just stop, she backs up where she knows she is supposed to be. There is just so much out there for her to...

Another great month with Silver. She had a pyjama party with Levi, but neither one brought pyjamas. She went for hikes to Kalamoir park, Bear Creek, and the second part of the Greenway in Kelowna, along with Odi Levi and Misty. Submitted by: Jim and Susan...

Another great month with Silver. She continues to astound us with her willingness to learn. Always ready to take on new tasks. She made a quick trip to Vernon to Total Pet, where she was very happy to see her sponsors. Had a play day with Levi for a whole day. Had two...

Silver had a couple of visits to dog parks this month. She still cannot figure out why she cannot just run up to the fence and get in with the other dogs. She is starting to get the idea that she has to walk up in a heel position or she does not get to go. It is two...

Another great month for Silver. She is getting better around other dogs. Not going to win any awards for staying calm, but improvement is improvement. She went to a one-on-one class and had a great time. Silver had a couple of play dates and walks with first Sarabi...

What a great dog! In the house she is just a wonder – never barks unless someone rings the doorbell, then it is one single bark. She can then be sent to her bed with no problem where she stays until told she can come over and visit. Loves people, especially...

Silver continues to be a joy to be around.Β In the house she is very laid back, but her “on” switch is just waiting for a visitor or food. There is a lacrosse box close to us where we often take her so she can still get out for a bit of a run.Β Her recall...

Silver is a great dog to have around.Β She has two speeds. “Off” (if that is a speed) and “full out”.Β There does not seem to be much in the middle. In the house she is fantastic – she has an off switch that is unbelievable.Β She just...

Other than a couple short trips to the dog park, not much has been going on.Β We have mostly been working on loose leash walking. Silver seems to know Heel and Side quite well, but sometimes she guesses at which one is which, so this is still a work in progress.Β We...

We are working on getting into the car, trying to clear up a little hesitation that is almost gone. We continue to work on walking across grates and up & down open stairs.Β Silver does these willingly, but is not quite comfortable with the skills yet. This month...

Silver went for a cross country hike with friends and PADS Levi, another pup from our group. Β Not having seen another dog for quite a while the two were pretty excited and played a lot before we left for the walk.Β Both dogs behaved quite well off leash on the walk...

There has not been a whole lot going on to write about. Silver went to a couple of hockey games early March but that is it. Right now she is just going on daily walks through the park. It is a good time to practice default behaviours and loose leash walking. Submitted...

Silver has only been with us for three weeks or so, and for the first two she was in heat. Other than walks around the neighbourhood and through the park, there was not a lot of fun stuff going on. We took her to a hockey game once. It was okay and she really enjoyed...

Silver has a beautiful personality and settles easily. She was really very relaxed through the busy Christmas season with lots of activity in the house. She will nip at clothes and boots when playing, so we are working on that. We also worked on her pulling when...
