Jaspers coming along

Posted by Larry on Thursday Dec 24, 2009 Under Life in Rescue

What can I say, Jasper is improving in all ways. With house full of dogs, traveling for work and the holidays I shamefully admit I have not been giving the dogs the attention I would like. Poor little Haley started favoring one of her back legs a couple days ago so she is spending a lot of time in her crate or when out she is out alone with us. She so loves to play with Jasper and Ora that I am afraid one little romp with the other dogs will slow her healing so for now we are trying to keep her calm to see if she just pulled something or if its more serious and we need to take her in.

Jasper on the other hand seems to know its Christmas time and like any kid is bouncing off the walls in anticipation. With the deep snow now and cold temps our outside disc play has come to an end but we still do a little work in the house. Ive primarily been working on his flips, which slowly but surely he seems to be getting more accustomed to. He certainly isnt a natural flipper so its going to take some time. In addition, he is working on some overs and vaults. My timing of throws could use a little work, but with the limited space in the house and the little guys explosiveness I dont always have time to set up for a back vault but we are making do. He is also getting more comfortable contacting my chest so we are making a little headway there as well.

    Make sure to get “jawz” discs made by skyhounds, they are very durable and will survive playing tug etc. And also, start play with 2 discs, its key to teaching so much.
