Palisade

We now have a palisade and all the dogs old enough to give it a go succeeded.  Kludde and I still working on our technique.

Kludde's first American boat ride

I had an 80's flash back to the song "Hey Matthew" by Karel Fialka

"I want to be a soldier, street fighter, be a policeman, A captain of a boat - big boat.
 I want to be a magic man, a cowboy,
 A train driver, high jump champion,
 A fireman, a pilot, I want to be your friend."

Understudy animal actor

A TV job required a personal protection dog that also does dock jumping. Can Kludde pull that off? The main canine actor did a flawless job so Kludde was not needed on taping day but we learned quite a few things about "the business" and had some fun. Here are two videos of a practice day.

Painting with pooches

Had some fun at ArtJamz studio in Dupont Circle. (Ok so Kludde doesn't look like he had tons of fun but the photo was a rush job. He enjoyed all of the ambiance except for the volume of the music.)

Cheerleaders with pom poms

Having some fun while training. One great Ethan quote, "He always looks so small except when he is biting me."

Eastern Regional Super Elite Big Air Champion

It was a fun weekend and I certainly felt the "team" aspect of the sport.

Eastern Regionals... fetch and bring

Some of my mondio friends feel that Dutchies have a certain something, besides stripes, that Mals don't have.  They might enjoy this video.
(This was his longest jump but not my worst throw.)
