Happy Saturday

A happy Saturday started with sunrise!
Shyla and I did some training games while we were bathed in the sunrise light. She "took a bow", worshiping the sun.
She LOVES our training. This next photo might look the same as the previous one, until you focus on her tail. These two photos were part of a rapid-fire series of photos that I took while she took her bow. The photos show that she wagged her tail during her entire long bow!
We had a great snowbike ride. At the end, I asked her to "wave to me", and she did. I know that it's not the best photo that I've ever taken but I love it anyway because it expresses how much fun Shya and I are having.
Positive training rocks, especially for a sensitive dog like Shyla. It builds her confidence and our bond.

    Hi Y'all!

    Everytime I see her she is more beautiful! I think I'm fallin' in love! I wish my Human would take me out there to meet Shyla, but she says it's too far away. :(

    Sorry Shyla, guess I'm destined to worship you from afar!

    Y'all come by now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog

    That is a great wave, Bert only raises his paw about shoulder level but it works to the pleasure of the patients at the Hospital.

    I love that Shyla is having so much fun with the training. I am gonna work harder on making it more fun for Bert
    Thanks

    Isn't it so wonderful to see Shyla growing and learning. Most of all isn't it so wonderful to see her happy?

    That's why I love positive reinforcement so much. The dogs are so happy with it. And you can shape any behaviour...
