Last weekend we attended the Eastern Whippet Specialty in York, PA. Lemmy did well although it was a long stressful week for both of us. The crowning achievement for the weekend was getting 1st place in the 12-15 month class under Iva Kimmelman on Friday’s supported entry. I got a lot of nice compliments from breeders and exhibitors and we really enjoyed the show.
Whippets
Lemmy’s first AKC point
Today at the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers Assoc. show in Daytona, FL under judge Pete Dawkins Lemmy went WD/BW for his first point.
Targeting
Who said whippets are hard to train? Check out Lemmy demonstrating targeting in the video below.
This is thanks to Marge Rogers, who is teaching us a lot in our Clicker Foundations class.
Clicker Foundations
Lemmy had his first Clicker Foundations class on Wednesday the 24th. He did very well, although the class is more about training me than him. We are working on the target stick, food zen, touch and eye contact.
