WOW! How are you? You go for walks with the dogs? Karen and I still do – just about everyday. We have over 100 acres with sheep and other livestock, fields, woods, a swamp, and everyone works. I miss you! It is still a tough ride but dogs do make it all bearable. Good luck with everything – my best to John!
Cheers – Mary Ann

love what you do with your dogs. like that you mix it up with them. i find it keeps them interested. i do lots of different things with my dogs too. i bike with a attachment for the dog so they can run safely where i live.

Any chance of the recipe for Lynda’s homemade Tuna treats? I like trying out new treats especially if they are ones I can make myself

What are the balance disc/balls called that you use? I’ve been trying to find some of the smaller ones, but not a lot of luck.

Love the paws, well, actually love the whole video! Many thanks!

It is a lap pool with a current running at one end. You can use it indoors or out (indoors you do need a separate air handling system for the room). In the clip of Buzzy on the treadmill it was not turned on, using it more as a Jacuzzi, all the jets were turned on for him.

If I am training in the evening I use their meal so I cut up the chicken necks at night into small pieces and use them. If it is a morning session I take a tablespoon and an extra bowl and feed the dog their raw mix from the spoon with the empty bowl under the spoon to catch any spillage. Other wise I use homemade Tuna treats that Lynda makes, cut up carrot pieces and some store bought treats–usually a mixture.

By chase I mean the dog chasing you as in a restrained recall for example.

This is a great write up and I’m so impressed on how much you actually get out and about with your canines! Not many people can claim they spend that much time with them. Gotta love it.

Hi Susan

Slightly off topic.

I believe you feed a raw diet to your dogs. My question is: What treats do you use when training?

Thanks
Lynne
