Dog and handler's first time, two trials in a weekend, two first place scores.  Good dog.

Our one major error on Saturday. 
He fetched the water bottle I tossed

It broke and he dropped it

He thought about grabbing it again but instead he brought me a basketball distraction

 

First Extreme Vertical practice

Not sure why he wasn't straight but it was a fun time on opening day at the pool.

 

Mondio training

Enjoying the hospitality of a nice indoor facility on a snowy spring night - practicing face attack and defense of handler.

Happy anniversary

One year ago I got my fab dog from www.upstatek9.com  Thanks Greg!
Here is a pic from our first week together.

We are now on track to trial in mondio in the spring thanks to lots of great training support.

We took up dock diving as something fun to build endurance and he finished the year as #10 in the nation and top in his breed.

Possibly most relevent to a dog, we traveled and he peed in many states.

 

First time pouring a beer

I started training on an empty keg.  Here is the first time on full one.  Just in time for the big game - a bartender that works for hot dogs.

I was working glass, camera, and hot dog so a bit choppy and some spillage.  :)
