Top AKC Agility Berner!

I just received "the letter" in the mail this week, that Lexi is the Top AKC Agility Berner again, for 2002. They determine the recipient, through a calculation of: Each Double Q earned during the year is awarded 10 points, and each MACH point represents one point. So, your MACH points earned du

We have a training school, and teach a lot of the classes at the school. I often demo/work with someone else's dog. I don't' believe the students want to see me working with my own trained dogs. I NEVER correct someone else's dog, and never do anything with the dog or puppy that isn't fun for th

One thing that can help with the jumping behavior, is to teach sit, and down. Also, shake hands etc. The more behaviors that the puppy can be told to do, the better. And, if you are sitting, you can't be jumping etc. Also, go down to puppies level. Puppies jump up to gain attention. If you ar

All of our Berners are also happy retrievers. Haley, at 11 1/2 will still retrieve enthusiastically. In her puppy temperament test, she retrieved the thrown object 5 times, and the evaluator stopped at that point. (Always bringing it back happily, not just investigating). Cassie, our 4 year ol

I have to agree with MaryAnn on this. Restricting water may just cause a urinary tract problem. A young puppy is a baby, and frequent potty needs just goes with the territory. My theory for my own dogs, and my students, is if the puppy immediately relieves himself upon being let out, then he nee

We have returned from Houston Texas. The AKC Nationals were once again a great experience. Both Lexi and Kintla ran great, and represented the breed well. Katie and Kintla has a spectacular run on Sunday's "hybrid" course, which was kind of a combo standard/JWW. Lexi ran that course great too.

Try holding a treat slightly ahead of him, and above. The placement is important, because if you have it too high, he will jump. Idea is, that the treat will "lure" him into the straight sit. It is fine if he jumps up a bit, just don't give it to him for jumping, make him sit first, and then he
