  1. RE: triangletoot.party/@autumn/115

    #worldDogStar brought home some ribbons over the weekend! here's one of her runs where she was looking for six(!) rats, and i did not know how many would be on course (2-6 in this game).

  2. very impressed by #worldDogStar’s rat hunting skills this weekend. she went 12/12 in her classes and even did some unknown number searches perfectly. three new titles, too! we had a blast! 🐀

    (no rats were harmed.)

  3. had some quality dog time this weekend. #worldDogStar ran a 5k with @corey and me, and all three dogs had an hour long hike at umstead.

  4. #worldDogStar earned her CL-1 last weekend in CPE agility! this is her winning run, in which she ignores me about 50% of the time. 😂

    we've also started #agilityLeague, which is where we do a new course every two weeks. she *barely* made it through the last one, and our second one is tomorrow.

    OH! and we started rat locating, which is SO MUCH FUN. (no rats are harmed.)

  5. #worldDogStar after a long day of #dogAgility. 😴

    we’re at a new (her first indoor!) facility this weekend out near greensboro NC called quicksilver. it’s a great place and very QUILTBAG+ friendly! 🏳️‍🌈

  6. here’s how i trim #worldDogStar’s nails in approximately five minutes. i aim for once a week. i’ve been doing it like this since i brought her home at 3-4 months old.

  7. dog updates:

    #worldDogStar is working on teeter confidence. #dogAgility she’s also been killing it at #canicross!

    #echoOfBrookside is rocking #treibball beginner. she chased after her first ball last week when it went off course!

    #lokiOfPineview is still trying to find the right meds to manage his arthritis. rimadyl made him cough, so we paused that for now. he was astounding at the vet for the blood draw. #seniorDog

  8. #worldDogStar earned four qualifying scores and her CL1-R and CL1-F this past weekend in CPE #dogAgility! there was even a photographer present to take some awesome photos.

  9. after three(!) years(!) of hard work to reduce #worldDogStar's dog reactivity, she earned her #canineGoodCitizen title last night (along with her novice #trickDog title).

  10. #worldDogStar and her first muzzle training session! she has worn head halters in the past, so the sensation on her face wasn’t completely foreign to her. she was willingly sticking her face into the muzzle in under five minutes, and strapping it was a breeze!

    it’s a wee bit long for her, but not bad considering this one isn’t custom.

  11. dog confessions:

    - #worldDogStar fell asleep during desperate housewives.
    - #echoOfBrookside had to get a bath because she stuck her head in #lokiOfPineview’s pee stream.

  12. lunchtime training report.

    #worldDogStar is getting even better at pushing the #treibball. she even did it a few times with no treats under the ball!

    #echoOfBrookside is up to four containers in #scentWork. i need to read up on what our homework is for this week.

    this evening i'll record some things to share, because seeing is believing. 🤩

  13. both of them had a lot more success during yesterday's evening session. #worldDogStar overcame her fear of the ball and grabbed some treats underneath, and #echoOfBrookside was actively pushing the ball out of a small raised ring!

    #dogTraining #dogSports #treibball

  14. #worldDogStar is Very Afraid of the 12" inflatable ball i got to start her on #treibball, so i guess we're gonna be doing a lot of counter-conditioning with that!

    #echoOfBrookside enjoyed pushing it out of the way for the treats underneath, so that's progress.

  15. i care more about #worldDogStar's #fastCAT photos than this debate. like a lot more. and they're still not ready!

  16. ordered a #scentWork kit for the dogs, since it's another low-impact sport i can get #echoOfBrookside and #lokiOfPineview involved in.

    echo's got a bum wrist (which i knew might be an issue when i adopted her), and loki is 11 years old, so i'm trying to cut back on jumping/running sports.

    #worldDogStar is now my primary #agility dog, which is not at all what i expected, haha. she's also got another #fastCAT trial coming up on the 20th-22nd in concord. 👏

    #dogTraining #dogSports

  17. #worldDogStar had her fastest times ever at the fast CAT (coursing ability test) trial today!

    8.73 seconds (23.43 mph)
    8.90 seconds (22.98 mph)

    she's now about halfway to her DCAT (second title in the sport).

  18. i do NOT run in puddles, so the human decided to scratch our last run after the rain started.

    #worldDogStar #dogAgility

  19. i ran real fast in the mud today! got a big ribbon to prove i’m a certified speed gremlin.

  20. am sleepy. ran 100 yards *twice* today for #fastCAT trial. best time was 9.477 seconds (21.5mph)! i came right to my human after i crossed the finish line, and i was very polite to all the other dogs. 😇

    #worldDogStar #chihuahua #rescueDog

  21. i’m obsessed with these photos of #worldDogStar from last weekend's #fastCAT. 🤩

    shoutout to @corey who was a big help holding her at the start.
