Lulu & Minnie

  They are waiting for the dinner: Minnie having a walk with friends: We tried again to give Lulu Librela (1 year after). With the prior  knee liquid shots, and now the added inflammation meds, it seems to work! Because Lulu felt very good, then we tried little walk! Minnie got new haircut! Minnie went to the physiotherapist and got green light for competition! Lulu also got a new haircut! Minnie agility training progress: Slalom Have tried 3 different slalom in 3 locations. Everything is good. Practicing angles and speeds. Dog-walk From march in full height See-saw restarted the process, because somehow she started to have second guesses about this obstacle, 1st session 2nd session   Then we moved to full height and managed to do 4 sessions in March. usually I do approximately 20 repetition in one day/session. Handling training Usually twice a week, in different locations, but at least once in a group training

In the beginning of February, we celebrated 1 year anniversary of Minnie arriving to home! For that I looked 1 year old videos and made little video to share: Now Minnie is a big girl already.  With her best friend Lulu!  Minnie is spending lot of time in training: Some moments from the february trainings: And in our slalom training we started to remove the helping arcs: And 10 days later: Handling: I feel insecure about "in" command - so I am doing some extra sessions for it...(literally 3 minutes) Still regularly doing the dog walk: Minnie is still protesting against my Monday meetings..entertained with the destruction of scissors...   Friends holding paws to celebrate the Valentine day! But usually Lulu can find a quite uncomfortable place to sleep: Adrien making fun of Minnie: Girls in the car At training resting :)

Minnie had her agility competition debut at home turf (Vastse-Kuuste) in 22.02.25 in an unofficial beginners class. Judge was Jaanika Lillenberg.  We had 2 courses: First course was dsq. Second course was successful - clean run. First place! I was very happy because Minnie was perfect, she was not bothered with all the other dogs around!

Minnie likes to sleep on top of something/someone :)   This year has been unusually warm so far, but in the beginning of the month some snow finally arrived. So we had a had little weekend trip to Wagenküll (without the doggos): Then a lot of snow for 2 days: Minnie has been training well - current slalom: From January we started an extra agility handling class, 2x per month until May. Here is video from the first time. It was also first time for Minnie to do a 22 obstacle course. She was very happy to run! First training, 7.01.2025: Second training of the month, 31.01.2025: She is perfect! And so is Lulu: Generally, doggos are not misbehaving at the house. But one morning, while i was busy with the online meeting, Minnie managed to get a magic marker and she destroyed it and coloured the carpet - also shredded plastic bags...she had very busy morning :) 

In the beginning of November we took part third agility seminar with Minnie (first was in September and second was 1 week before the third one). Already at the second seminar (held by Stefanie Semkat), we did with Minnie longer sequencies than ever before (11 obstacles). I found the seminar very good and useful. Worked on command like "in". Minnie worked like gold! Fantastic! Week later we were at Peter Holmberg handling seminar,  worked mostly on rear crossing, the command that she have been working only 2 weeks. And it worked so nicely! I was ecstatic. This time I managed to have a video. Very first time a full course (21 obstacles).       At home they need to be where everyone are :) I got a home laser for Lulu, so now she can have regular treatments for her knees.  Sleeping together: They got sniffing ball for Christmas: Minnie had her first Christmas party and Santa visit, at first she was very suspicious, but later she was good enough to sleep: O...
