#worlddogstar — Public Fediverse posts

my weird lil' leggy #worldDogStar.

i still think about that time i got #worldDogStar to drop an entire cooked chicken wing at a busy party with a verbal "drop" cue because we'd practiced it so often on less-valuable items.

she got a very high value reward right after. :)

it is never not funny.

#worldDogStar

there’s just something funny about a dog sleeping with their tongue out.

#worldDogStar

#worldDogStar got recognized in public because i have her photo up at the coworking space. i live for these moments.

if you’re feeling bored tomorrow, come watch #worldDogStar and #lokiofPineview find rats at teamworks in youngsville. starts at 9am and will probably go on until 4pm or so.

#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).

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.)

this weekend deep freeze had better not impact the happy ratters trial i signed #worldDogStar up for. the last one got canceled for the same reason!

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.

#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.)

#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! 🏳️‍🌈

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.

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

#worldDogStar #chihuahua

@Goodworkdog i used a head halter to help #worldDogStar learn to loose leash walk. it was one tool of many! now we only ever bring it out if i think the environment is going to be way too stimulating for her, which hasn't happened for many months now.

#worldDogStar picked up a couple of AKC ACT (agility course test) qualifying scores today!

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).

#dogTraining #dogSports #chihuahua #rescueDog

eepy.

#rallyObedience class last night was... entertaining. #echoOfBrookside was trying so hard to concentrate while #worldDogStar was being a whiny baby in her crate.

#worldDogStar learning new silly tricks all the time. 🛹
