Millie and I got the jumps out today and Millie thoroughly enjoyed flying over them!


She had time to pose too!

She even helped me put the jumps away afterwards!

Dog Training

Last Monday Millie and I went dog training. Millie was so desperate to work! I forgot her mark so she used another dogs blanket for the send aways, which she still did very well. We did the 'stop the dog exercise' with Millie coming towards me, and away from me for the first time too. Although she continued to run to the trainer the first time we tried it, the second time she was perfect! We did some heelwork and some stays which she did very well at too.

Millie in the Snow and Stealing Food!

We had a little bit of snow in the night, so Millie got to play in it on our walk this morning. 

She kept sniffing and got a pile of snow on the end of her nose!

This evening Millie was a naughty girl though, she stole a pork chop out of a bowl on the table!!

More Drawings by Millie!

Millie's been doing a lot more artwork recently, and she's getting better!

This is one of her latest pieces!

I put together a video of her drawing and her pictures. https://youtu.be/wejGLpWamlc

Disc Dog by Day, Artist by Night...

Yesterday morning Millie and I did a lot more disc work. Millie was fantastic and caught the disc nearly every time, despite my awful throwing and the wind!

 

 

We also worked on a few tricks involving the disc. Millie's got a lot better at them too!

 

 

 





Here's a video I put together of our training session yesterday:

In the evening, Millie did two more drawings. She's getting much better!

Posing with her beautiful artwork!!!

Our New Hyperflite Disc

For Christmas, Millie and I got a Hyperflite disc, for disc dogging! We had a go with it today, it's amazing!

We started off with normal throws, it went a long way and Millie managed to catch it nearly every time! Once I threw it so hard it nearly went over the neighbours fence! Fortunately it hit the house and bounced off it, Millie still caught it!

After that we did some tricks with it. Millie managed to jump over my leg and catch the disc whilst she and the disc with both in the air! Her flippy thing is also getting better! I got a jump out and she was going over the jump and then catching the disc.

Here is a little video. She was much better the times I didn't film it because I couldn't really film ad through the disc at the same time!

Then I put the disc away and got some more jumps out. Millie loved that as much as ever!

A Millie Update!

Sorry for lack of posts recently - just I've been very busy and haven't had time to post!

Earlier in the month Millie came on her first car ride with me! She loved sticking her head out the window barking! When we got there she came in the front and then pushed me out of my seat!

Millie had a good Christmas! She had lots of presents which she loved unwrapping!

I got some dog DVDs for Christmas and last night we watched one! It had Jumpy as the main character and Millie loved it!

After that Millie did some more drawing! She hasn't done any for a while but this is what she produced yesterday. 

This morning she enjoyed another of her Christmas presents - a buffalo ear!
