Dani and her buddies, Dusty, Muligan, and Badger wished you the best of Christmases, and remind you not to forget your furry friends. For dog training hints, click here. For the ongoing story of Habi and Mike and Chris, click here. This story is about a great dog with poor impulse control along with other issues, and how she is learning to have a wonderful life. To learn a little about what Mary learned in 2008, click here, and in 2007, click here. For a little poem from the dog's perspective, click here. This is something nice I found on an email list that I thought was especially nice.
The training facility is located on one grassy acre in Eagle Idaho. The completely fenced outside agility ring includes all agility equipment meeting American Kennel Club standards. There is ample parking and easy access.
Trainer, Mary Hunter, has put titles on her three Belgian Shepherds, and has been teaching agility since 1999. Katie made it to the top rankings Belgian Sheepdogs in AKC; #1 ranked in 2003, #2 in 2004 and #1 for lifetime achievement, #3 in 2005. Katie also won the Top Belgian Sheepdog at AKC’s first Agility Invitational in December 2006 and was also 20th finisher in over 100 dogs in the 24 inch jump height at the Invitational. Katie accomplished her success at the Invitational at the age of 8 after being essentially retired from agility for a year. Dani started competing in agility in March 2006 and finished her excellent titles a year later and is now working on earning her MACH title. She finished 2008 in 12th place for Tervurens in AKC agility ranked by points. In 2009, Dani qualified for AKC Nationals. Rosie, at the age of 14 in 2009, would be very happy to do any kind of training and competing if only there was enough time. Rosie has novice through open AKC obedience and agility titles. Mary works with many to help their dogs be better family pets and companions. In addition, Mary works with reactive dogs, (dogs that over-react to dogs or people primarily), and students have been very pleased with the improvements their dogs are now capable of achieving.
Mary’s students have done well along with having a good time with their dogs.
Two finished their MACH titles and competed in 2007 and 2008 at the AKC Nationals.
Others have zoomed through their novice and open titles in short order and are now
working on their MACH titles. Mary hopes to provide canine freestyle instruction in the near future. In the meantime, training is provided in Eagle Idaho, just west of Boise. Contact Mary Hunter at dogsaflying@msn.com. Note:
