NaBloPoMo sponsors challenges every month so you can start any time. Maybe January?

I’d love to learn more about Rally. I went to Tails and Tales (oops! Tales and Tails) to look for some Morgan rally story but didn’t see a search button (softly weeping in the background).

I’ll poke around more this weekend.

Thanks!

My dog Shadow, a hound mix, taught me just how stimulating sniffing can be. I feel guilty about every time I pulled a dog away from a good scent before they soaked it all in.

Now I’m reformed!

In reply to Kristine. I hated to lose the momentum so I had to do one more. But I didn't post yesterday. I love reading about Shiva doing agility. I hope to start it with Honey in the spring. I guess we'll have to see if she likes it.

I have a feeling that Morgan would really like that class. Right now she’s working on rally, but she’s very search oriented. I’m hoping something like that opens up near here!

I didn’t know there was a NaBloPoMo! I will have to keep an eye out for it next year! Congrats on making it!

congratulations on nablo.
nose work sounds like a lot of fun. i haven’t heard of it here. actually, i have never heard of it before this blog post, but i haven’t heard people here talking about anything similar. i love that they don’t control how the dog reacts. looking at the different ways those four dogs react to finding the odor was entertaining. good luck and keep us posted.

This class sounds like a lot of fun. A local trainer in our area offered outdoor tracking classes this past fall but we were too busy with agility classes at the same time and couldn’t sign up. Hopefully she will offer them again. I look forward to reading about your experiences.

Congratulations on completing NaBlo! And good on you for posting the day after. I’m being lazy and giving myself a one day break. 🙂
