My own store!

Not only do I have a garage sale page here on my website, I also have a store! You can get hats, bags, tee shirts... even dog clothes! Be sure to check it out!

I must say, I do quite like the bags! They are great to carry things like tennis balls, agility stuff or therapy work items!

Registered Therapy Dog!

GREAT NEWS!!!

It's official! I have been training to do therapy work (and my humans have been taking classroom work). I took my evaluation with an highly respected international pet therapy program and I PASSED!

I am approved to not only do therapy work, but to work in 'Complex' environments (meaning hospitals, or locations that may be potentially stressful). The goal is not to stress out the dog -- not at all! There are some dogs that will do wonderful in locations that are fairly predictable, and there are some dogs that can go beyond and work in places that might be less predictable. This just means that I am qualified to work with my dad in situations where many dogs might easily stress. I am very excited and look forward to working with children in hospitals and those in nursing homes. I love people, and look forward to hopefully making a difference, or provoking a smile.

Here are a few photos of me in training. More photos can be found in the photo section.

Competing in Agility Trials

I've been a busy boy in 2012. I've begun to compete in AKC agility competitions!! I have so much fun. Here are a few photos from a couple trials I've attended so far. More photos can be found in the photo section.

What a wonderful sport! It exercises your dogs brain AND your humans mind!! It's so important for us dogs to have mental stimulation. This not only provides the brain-work, but also is wonderful physical activity to keep you and your pup in tip top shape!
