Hello

Well Hello Internet people, this is my first post for this blog, I am really looking forward to posting about my mishaps and successes with training my dogs. Just to be clear I am not a professional dog trainer nor claim to be one, I am just a normal person that enjoys training and spending time with my dogs, I  compete in competitive obedience and lately decided to start teaching my dogs some tricks to add to their repertoires.

I have always loved dogs and as a child we always had dogs as well as an array of many other animals, I always wanted to do dog training but you know how it goes when you are a child but the idea always stuck with me and when I was a young adult still studying my dad brought home a Fox terrier mix puppy. I grabbed the opportunity with both hands and found a professional dog trainer near my home so Menchi (yip that is what we called the poor puppy) and I went for training, it was very strict and rigid but we did well and I full of enthusiasm searched the net for dog activities and came upon the world of dog agility, it looked very exciting and I spend hours on Youtube watching videos ( I still do), but the classes I was at only did obedience, that is until one day I pitched for class and there was nobody, clearly the lady decided to stop training at that venue and just didn't bother to let me know, the next week I pitched again but nothing, I was very disappointed but decided to start searching again, after phoning numerous numbers I finally ended up with a person that was part of a dog training club and the best thing, they did dog agility too!  i was so excited, so that Saturday Menchi and I went to the dog training club, it was in the next town but that didn't matter, it was a bit intimidating at first, huge grounds, lots of dogs, different training method but I enjoyed it even more, that was about 7 years ago and I am still training at the club, and I still love training my dogs.
