Hi!
So excited to find this site!
I have 3 pups: Moonie (10-year-old male pug), Fiona (7-month-old female Kerry Blue Terrier) and Finnegan (2-year-old male Kerry Blue Terrier).
Finn is a rescue – I've had him since November. He has a lot of fears and anxiety which we have been working on. He gets too stressed going to class so I work with him at home. He is such a smart boy and catches on pretty fast. I think learning these tricks, etc. is really helping to build up his confidence.
Fiona is will be graduating her 2nd obedience class this coming week. She's totally fearless which has been a real help for Finn. She's also in agility and is doing very well so far. We are working on a trick for her class graduation on Saturday. I taught her spin, but then overheard my trainer say that spin was easy to teach, so I'm trying to figure something else out.
Moonie... Well, Moonie has no interest in learning new tricks. He literally will walk away and go take a nap. I'm okay with that – if learning tricks is not fun for him then I'm not going to force him. He has all his basic obedience down. Other than that, he would rather be sleeping.
Learning forward to learning more!
Kindly,
Emily
