Duncan & Dharma update

Thank you Ashley! I actually cried the first time I saw Dharma play with Duncan. It took a couple of weeks before she did that. Oh my gosh. It's amazing to watch her start to come out of her shell. My hubby calls her Turtle because of that shell

 

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

 

Hey Michele!
Thank you. Dharma is the most challenging dog I've ever had but we'll keep working with her. She has so much potential.
You know that Duncan & I keep up with Mia's adventures (and she's a hard one to keep up with). She's such a great spokesdog for double merles and dogs with "issues". I hate to even think of the word disabilities when I think of Duncan and Mia. They're so full of abilities

I can't believe it's almost their birthdays!
Hugs to your crew, Michele!

 

Thank you Toffee's Mom! I haven't tried agility with Duncan but maybe I will. Congrats on your friends BC! I used to have a hearing border collie and they're awesome dogs. I'm glad that she's doing agility with her dog! I'll have to explore it some.

 

I have to admit that I hadn't even thought about Duncan using Gracie as an alarm but I agree that's probably true! If he's not laying on Gracie, he's laying on my feet and he's awake the moment I move. Early alarm! Thank you!

 

I just heard back from the AKC and they don't allow deaf dogs to get ILP numbers or be PAL certified.
We'll look elsewhere for further training. I'm sorry they don't allow deafies. They're missing out on a large population of awesome dogs.
Thanks for the help though.

 

It does stink but that's okay. I'm not planning on stopping after we finish this class. We'll find someone to teach us more.
