GO TRIX-C GO

Trix-C is doing really well she's walking on all fours today!!!!!!! :)

It most be a monday

Trix-C and Darcie got into a little something this morning. dogs will be dogs lol

I'm only human

After a week of not training, trix-c and I were beginning to get bored. I was getting worried she wasn't getting the exercise she needed. After yesterday  morning, I realized I wasn't giving my Old girl enough credit. I didn't think she was going to do as well as she did yesterday. We mastered the teeter, to a certain extent. We are learning to go over 3 jumps at a time. It looks and sounds pretty easy, but it's not.

I am used to handling trix-C on my right, and I have to change now to my left for agility. It feels awkward and uncomfortable. In spite of this, we did pretty good.

I am also learning to cue trix-C using body language, like turning my neck to whichever side I want her to go. 

P. S. Thank you so much Tammy you're the best.

my power chair broke

Last Saturday my power chair broke down, first thing I thought was how am I going to handle trix-C. It is difficult because in my manual chair someone has to push me. She already knows all my power chair cues, but it's way different in my manual chair.

catching up!!!!!

Trix-C and I have been crazy busy doing Agility  Mondioring and service dog training! Sometimes I wonder if we can do ALL these things but then I look at my old girl who is doing such an amazing job and all my doubts go away

After working hard all morning. Yesterday trix-C and I went to a restaurant and it was fun to see her just lay there. GO TRIX-C GO!!!!!


Ps. trix-C LOVES food! do the math!

How and why I got started on this adventure!

My heart has been set on getting a service dog for sometime, finally the time had come. Through lots of prayer, sweat and anxiety I finally got Trix-C. (The process of getting a dog and trainer was a whirlwind, so that's a story for another time.) So here we are my girl and I, Trix-C is an exceptional dog and she is truly an amazing blessing! My girl is a Belgium Malinois, and she is 9 or 10 yrs old. Trix-C has a very extensive and impressive resume. She is truly a working girl! 

its a mystery to how I went from a lonely pathetic college student who wanted a buddy to a person who cant get enough of dog training.
