This blog is designed to jot down my personal day-to-day training efforts, to both keep myself accountable and give others a window into another person's training life.
In my day work I am the Behavior and Training Coordinator at the local Humane Society, giving eight to ten group classes a week and working with shelter dogs in need of behaviour modification.
Although for quite some time I was dedicated to the sport of agility, for many reasons we never truly competed. Three years ago life and location changed and with it came different avenues for learning.
We play and dabble in lots of different activities from agility to flyball, rally-o to scenting, trick work to competitive obedience, stunt dog to barn hunt, dock diving to disc and more. Mostly, I am keen to play and engage with my dogs and work towards small, achievable goals while breaking down behavior into small components.
During non-work time I am the mother to a one year old little boy. My husband works away quite frequently during the week, so our training efforts always revolve around a busy-mom schedule that often means I need to get creative with minimal time and space with high levels of distraction and multi-tasking.
I hope you enjoy following along!
