It is so much fun being a student and we have such a great group of students — we are all accomplishing a ton. Of the four goals I laid out for Swagger and I before [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/successes-all-around/feed/ 13 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/critical-elements-for-swagger-raven/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2011/06/critical-elements-for-swagger-raven/#comments Fri, 17 Jun 2011 02:29:41 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=6779 Very exciting day. Tomorrow 4 1/2 month old Swagger and his cousin Raven start their first ever “Advances in Dog Training” and “Critical Elements course (formerly known as puppy camp).

It was not an advertised seminar, since I am supposed to be on hiatus from teaching seminars right now. So it was a relatively small group, but very enthusiastic one!

Don’t be shy there are no wrong answers. What do you do with your puppy?  What skills do you teach your young dog. I don’t mean tricks (although if you have any tricks to add, check and [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/what-to-do-what-to-do/feed/ 22 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/while-waiting-until-he-grows-up/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/while-waiting-until-he-grows-up/#comments Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:35:55 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=2010 To follow up on a post from last week, I want to clear up any misunderstandings, I am not suggesting you wait until your dog is three or four years old before you start trialing him in agility.  Of my last three dogs, two of them where in the ring at 18 months and the [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/while-waiting-until-he-grows-up/feed/ 33 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/just-because-they-can-doesnt-make-it-right/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/10/just-because-they-can-doesnt-make-it-right/#comments Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:05:14 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=2004 Last night Lynda (my friend and one our very capable Say Yes instructors) and I were on our way to a trial in Memphis, Tn.
