They are back!!!

Audrey:

They are back!!!!! S came back with lots of presents for us. She even brought home a new bed! The treats she brought back from the dog bakery she went are the most fabulous treats! I drool just thinking about it..

S says she will post photos soon once she can solve the error with her CF card (cross fingers). So far, she has developed them, but because her USB wire is also spoilt, she can't upload them onto her computer.

BTW, Its been decided that both of us will be signing up for the coming SKC show. S was a little hesitant because both Arson and I are shedding like crazy but what the heck. We have nothing planned for that weekend anyway.

Clicker and training

S:

After having Arson for 5 months, I decided to introduce the clicker to Arson last week. I'm glad to say, he's got it! We have progressed to targeting, and he is getting the hang of it.

Audrey is great with the clicker. She doesn't know many things, but that is my fault. I only made her learn her sit and down and some other fun tricks, like targeting, attention,bang, real bang, wave, paw, change paw etc. She also knows wait and leave it, which i feel is really important.

Audrey is really fast with learning, as compared to Arson. She can learn a trick a day. She learnt the Sit command when in quarantine by accident. I never intended my dogs to learn how to sit, because some feel it isn't good for dogs competing in conformation to learn. But, i couldn't help myself and i let the word `sit` slip out of my mouth a couple of times. So, within the 2 hours that i was with her in quarantine, she mastered the Sit command.

Now i am really tempted to sign both of them up for classes...But i can't commit to training schedules, so i keep putting it off. Maybe after they both get their titles...

Back to the clicker, I just love my clicker. I use the i-click, which i feel is the BEST clicker in the market. It gives out a very crisp `click!` sound, as compared to other clickers i have used. Now, there is a new version, the clicker+

I want!! So...i ordered -_-''

I am waiting for the shipping quote on my total order now. I haven't really decided if i will get it. I may get more of the i-clicks instead. I keep misplacing them around the house...The clicker+ requires battery, so i guess it may weigh a bit. I like that it produces 2 different sounds, so that you can use it for a 2-dog family, with each dog having their own individual click.

Recently...really have been ordering a lot of things online! The beauty of the low US currency.HaHa..Now, if only the Au currency would drop as well!

All alone at home...

Audrey:

S will be going to Tokyo at the end of the month for the FCI Asian International Dog show. She is going to meet Tomomi, the owner of Dixie, who is from the same kennel. Tomomi will be bringing True along, Dixie's baby. I am so jealous! S is going away to meet other puppies. This is the ultimate betrayal!At least she promises lots of new toys and treats to make up for it...

Arson and I are NOT happy about it, but i guess we will compromise.The last time S went to Tokyo, she bought back lots of treats. Half her luggage bag was filled with my things. Heehee. That was when Arson wasn't with us yet. I wonder what she will buy this time with both of us waiting for her back home!
