| The Morning After |
The Big Stuff:
- Sue Ailsby's New Training Levels: Complete all levels, both dogs. No, I don't really think I can do it, but as no one could give me an idea how long it should take, let's just shoot for the whole thing and see what happens.
- My Canine Curriculum: Complete Primary School (Henry)
- My Canine Curriculum: Complete Secondary School (Zachary and Henry)
- AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Certificate: Given Henry's age, and when I can get a class, it's iffy if we can get this done by the end of 2011, but we'll try.
- Rally Novice: Enter at least one trial (Zachary)
Classes:
- Family Dog (Henry)
- Family Dog II (Henry)
- CGC (Henry)
- Conformation (Henry - if he "turns out" and I can find one, else Agility for Fun)
- Rally (Zachary - if I can find one)
Things from Last Year:
- Photo of the Week (most likely posted on Wordless Wednesday)
- Weekly Worksheets (posted on BZDog Activities blog)
- Monthly Manager (posted on BZDog Activities blog)
- Video everything and put it on YouTube channel: bzfischer (84 uploads so far!)
- Train 10-15 minutes a day, per dog, 5 days a week
- Go "Someplace Fun" with the dogs (shoot for twice a month)
New Areas to Explore:
- Trick of the Week
- Canine Journal
- Unit Studies
- Canine Enrichment
- Warm-up Drills (examples are HERE)
And Finally:
All right, that is it. You are clearly way more organized than I am. I'm sending over a few of my goals for you to check off for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance. :o)))
Beautiful pup picture.
Whew! I'm tired just reading it all!
ReplyDeleteI love your dogs and their photos!! Happy New Year! See you around in 2011.
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all,
ReplyDeleteJust hopped by to see what y'all are up to...and y'all wore me out before I even got a chance to move on down the list! Whew!
Thank Heavens my Humans didn't make me make any New Years Resolutions!
Hawk aka BrownDog
That's an amazing list!! You are going to be soooooo busy, but it sounds like fun. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals! I'm starting small..just 3 tricks a month and I will probably alternate dogs. I've wanted to work the Training Levels since my dog Malarky was a pup (she is 5 now). I've really gotten out of the training groove (for a variety of reasons) so I need to start somewhere to get motivated. Thought I'd make it a training challenge on my blog so I have some accountability. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Very ambitious goals! Good luck with everything in 2011.
ReplyDeleteHi Happy new year. I train all my new street dogs to sit , lie, and give their paw. That is as far as I can go with 15 rescues. Love the site Happy new year. Dogs in Brazil
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!
ReplyDeleteHope you achieve everything you want in 2011
Love and licks, Winnie
