We are moving on!

Sorry that it has taken me so long to update everyone on the Tobesters. With the end of the year coming around soon its a wonder I even have time for my angel. Here it goes. WE PASSED P2! I am so relieved. I am not sure why I would have any doubts. Toby is a great dog and does very well in a structured environment. I still need to work on his cross in fronts. Everything else is doing great. I need to make sure we don't back slide. In January Toby and I will be working basic obedience and obedience for agility (P3). The basic obedience has been a blessing. Everyday I learn how to keep Toby learning things just in everyday life. Poor Toby he has to work for everything. I mean everything! He is getting very strong in his stays. The only time I have problems with his recall in when he is in the back yard. I have to be very careful on this one. If I am not I will blow his recall. I always have a wonderful cookie in my hand when I call him in. He should not be out there doing self rewarding behavior at all! But, after being inside all day long he has to have some fun. When I get home from work we spend about 2 hours playing tug and squeaky ball. Two hours is just not enough for him. So I let him go to the back yard for a bit before going to bed. I have noticed that on nights we have class Toby is very tired at the end of the day. This is a good thing. Well this is all for now. I will try to post more often in the new year.

I almost forgot! Toby will be 3 yrs old on Dec. 30th. I can't wait until his birthday! Daddy is making him a mini A-Frame. Shhhhhh! Its a secret!
