Canine Agility Trial Photos | Albuquerque NM 10

Ahhhh… finally. I picked through over 700 photos I took at a local agility trial, trashed the bad ones, then picked out some of the better to process (I shoot in raw format) and here they are. I mean, it’s only been nearly three months since I took them…. (sheepish grin)

Now, for those who are not familiar with canine agility, other than having seen it on TV, it is FUN!!! The dogs LOVE it! And should a trainer start a noobie dog and realize the dog is not interested, nor finds any enjoyment, then the trainer ceases agility with that dog. We never force any of our beloved pets into any sport if they’re not loving it. The idea is companionship, fun, and the challenge of the course as well as racing against the clock as well as other dog’s times in the advanced levels.

It’s a dogs day at work 2

Just a fun, feel-good video I compiled of footage I took on the day my dogs went to work with me.  The dog in the red coat is what is known as a “lethal white.”  He was born completely deaf and blind in one eye, which is a typical result of merle-to-merle breedings in Australian Shepherds.  The other dog is his mother.  I rescued them as a pair.  You will see me use several hand signals and touch commands with him, many are subtle.  The most common is a tap on the nose is his command to sit.
