One of our biggest obstacles in our training has been motivation—one moment Mufaasa will be totally gung-ho and the next he just wanders off to sniff the ground. It’s extremely frustrating. However, we were going to a fun-match recently and a friend gave me some raw dog food that she’d mixed with egg and fried up and suddenly I […]

Summer training issues
I personally love the heat. If I’m dripping with sweat, I’m happy. My dog…not so much. So, as nice as yesterday was, I knew if I took him to the park directly after work, we would have to take lots of breaks just so he didn’t over heat on me. I decided to wait until later […]
K9 Kamp Challenge Week 4: Kamper’s Choice
Ahh! I’m late! Alas, I didn’t get a chance to update yesterday as I was too busy celebrating/undoing all the good I’ve done for the last four weeks stuffing my face full of beer and buffalo wings until 1am. ‘Cause, that’s how I roll. The last challenge for K9 Kamp was Kamper’s choice: do whatever […]
K9 Kamp Challenge Week 3: Just One Doggon Minute to Win It
Soooo, I’m really sleepy today. No good reason, I just never figured out how to go to bed on time like a grown up. However, it’s that time again and I’m ready to update all my rabid readers (all two of you) on our progress with the K9 Kamp Challenge, where Mufaasa and me try […]
K9 Kamp Challenge Week 2#: Sort of fail, but at least we finished on a high note
Well, it was initially a fail in so far as getting my dog to be more active. Me, on the other hand, I got to run and jump all over the place. In case you haven’t been keeping track, the K9 Kamp Challenge is about get out and getting fit with your pooch. Every week there’s a […]
K9 Kamp Challenge #1 Walk your pooch!
So, ironically I didn’t devout as much extra time to walking my pooch as I could have for this weeks K9 Challenge, but it’s been pretty busy for me the last while with the latest fun-show last weekend. Seeing as I was largely distracted by spending time training my dog and running around an agility […]
Ugh, what a month
Haven’t been too good about updating this month. The usual spotty internet at home, matched with it being crunch time at work (I’ve designed at least half a dozen cover this week and we’re even not done yet), along with a somewhat busy month for Mufaasa, has led to less than my usual enthusiasm for […]
“If I knew then what I know know, I would have spent a lot less time training, and more time being my dog’s friend.”
Last weekend marked the end of the contacts and weaves workshop offered by Flying Tails Dog Training. I am very proud of my pooch, he learned a lot. We didn’t quite make it to where I hoped, but I certainly wouldn’t say the workshop was a failure (I’ll go into it more in my next […]
It’s Been a Year Since I Adopted Mufaasa, Time to Take a Look at How Far We’ve Come
As of February 19 it’s been one full year since I adopted Mufaasa, and I thought it’d be a good time to look back and see how far we’ve come and maybe list where I hope to be one year from now. Sunday was of course spent cuddling my dog and giving him lots […]
New feeding routine and general cuteness
Mufaasa and my abnormally large basil plant survey their territory. So, I’ve gathered all the pipe I need for two jumps and three sets of 2×2 weave polls, too bad the hardware store I was at didn’t have a single one of the connectors I needed (like, and elbow joint, people? Seems kinda basic). Ah, well, […]
