The Total Canine, LLC

Business has kept me away from blogging and a lot has changed since the last time I posted.
Here's an update on everything:

The Total Canine, LLC
Focusing on Canine Sports Medicine, Rehabilitation, and Conditioning
House calls in the Front Range Area
Office in Golden, CO
Laser Treatment, Therapeutic Ultrasound, E-Stem, Manual Therapy and Exercise Plans available
www.theTotalCanine.net


Brink:
Qualified for 3 USDAA Cynosports in a row.
Titles: AAD, AX, AXJ
Overall amazing and continuing to teach me about working with dogs.


Stig:
Officially measured into the 22" Championship height in USDAA.
Titles: NAJ
Working on qualifying for his first USDAA Cynosport.
Continuing to help me figure out conditioning for the canine athlete.
He continues to make me travel down the behavior path. He continues to make me one of the proudest dog moms in the world.


Ghost:
Ghost is all grown up physically.
She is absolutely amazing at agility. She made her agility debut in March of 2015 with a Gamblers run and a Jumpers run. I think she was a bit shocked that she was actually getting to do agility. The Jumpers run earned her first ever Q and I love her little victory lap after she finished.
Ghost pushes me to be better every single day.

I'm starting a new website/blog: The Adventures of Ghost and Stig
My goal for this site is to introduce people to canine conditioning a fun way that's not all about reps and hours upon hours of work. Canine conditioning includes workouts that will be 15-20 minutes long, learning new tricks, and lots of play time with the dogs.

ADCH Rival

An Unexpected Journey

In the spring of 2007, I realized that my River would never love agility the way I do. At that point I started thinking about getting another dog and letting River become a couch potato. Little did I know Zia Australian Shepherd Rescue would be at the spring NADAC trial in Albuquerque. At that trial, Zia was high-lighting a little red Aussie with prick ears named Pecos. Every one would look at his picture and say "super cute, shame about the ears" and walk off. I took one look and said "I love those ears!". River has prick ears as well and I thought it made her a really unique girl and it would be perfect for River's Rival. I made plans to go visit him at the foster house and do a two week trial. 
As soon as he made it home, I named him Smithwicks Ewe've Got No Rival and he was mine. I told him he'd never have to run the streets again and immediately started training. 
Rival immediately bonded with the family-people and dogs, he loved everyone the instant he saw them. He loved training time, snuggle time, and play time.
Training was fun, he was so much more enthusiastic than River. I decided he was going to do running contacts, something I had hoped to do with River. Rival loves to run! His contact work has been a journey and will continue to be for the rest of his career. Even now I am still working on how to perfect the dog walk. 
I learned what not to do with weave poles-don't enter runs with weaves, and if he doesn't take them, just run by. It created a dog that never thought he really had to weave and it has taken until about mid-2012 that he finally started weaving reliably and for fun. 
He taught me to not take things too seriously. 
I love running him, I love how excited he gets watching other dogs run, I love how he tries to jump in my arms, and how he loves to smush!
We still work on getting tight turns and not looking at things outside the ring (I remember many ASCA trials where Rival would run out of the ring to go visit Chris). Chris was subsequently banned from coming to trials to watch Rival run. I think now Chris will be allowed to come watch when he wants to. 
We really connected last year, we push each run, we run for fun, and I've been rewarded in spades. In June 2012, Rival got his AAD, in November 2012 he got his MAD, and now on January 27, 2013, he got his ADCH.

Evolution of a Portrait








I had a great time today learning how to paint a portrait of my dog from a picture. I think it turned out nice and it's now my favorite painting. I just have to find the perfect place to put it.

So You Want to be on the Silver Team...

Great agility weekend. Something crazy over took me and I entered three dogs. Rival got to return to the fun and Tundra got four runs in veterans at 12 inches. Brink didn't have a great weekend. Last Sunday, we had some really tough weave pole entries that he never quite got even after multiple tries. I guess that carried over to this weekend, as he only did one set of weave poles successfully the whole weekend.

Video Monday


 
Stig at work.

A standard run by Rival.
Maybe a few words: Having fun at work-hopefully I'm making a difference. Loving training and doing agility with the dogs.
Wrote lesson plans for my first two classes that I will be teaching soon.
Planning an agility vacation to Washington state.
That is all, for now...
