Luigi and Me on A Young Kennel Club Training Camp

Hi, sorry i have not posted for awhile but loads has been going on.

This post is about going on a YKC (Young Kennel Club) week training camp.

Ok so it was brilliant, I really enjoyed it, I'm not so sure about Luigi but anyway.

I was really nervous about going, the evening entertainment did not sound like my kind of thing, which was things like talent night, world cup games and treasure hunts.

So when I got there I was in a team (green) and all the evening entertainment you did with your team!

In the morning and after-noon we did training with your dog I was doing Agility, Heel Work to Music (dancing with your

dog) Handling, Good citizen dog scheme - how well behaved is your dog (Luigi got his bronze) and Obedience.

Luigi was well behaved but did not like it that much.

There was always something to do and it was really good.

Our team did well in the team games and won Talent Night (music was

Let Me Entertain You) and World Cup Games (we were Australia)

On the last day There was Team Rallies where there where events which where

1. Agility Cricket: dogs from team jump and other teams dog doing the dog walk (Luigi did not take part)
2. In The Dark: 3 team members from each team are blind-folded and with there dog on a lead walk round a course which the team leader's direct them round, who ever got all 3 members round wins. (Luigi and I did take part in this and our team came second (: )
3. Recall Race: 3 dogs from each team race against different team's dogs race each other fastest wins and goes into next heat (Luigi and did not take part)
4. Temptation Ally: 3 members from each team race against another team and call there dogs through an ally of treats, toys food and other tasty stuff (Luigi and I did this one and to our team won the first heat then Luigi ran out of arena to find mum and we lost):

Most important is to cheer on your team if your watching.

I really hope this make's you come along to camp next year, I will see you there as I'm going to.

puppy toys

Luigi loves his milk bottle. It is one of his favourite puppy toys. He has got the top off but it was dangerous for him to have so we take them off now. At one point we put his bottle in a sock. He liked that but was very happy when we took it out. He can bite and carry the bottle. We change the bottle when it has lots of bite marks.

Coton de Tulear Toys

We have made some coton de tulear toys for Luigi.

1. A good home made toy is a wet cloth.
2. A small cardboard box with some food in it is a good home made toy. Luigi spends a long time trying to get it out.
3. A ball of paper is something Luigi loves to shred it up.
4. A frozen carrot is a good toy for your dog to chew. This is a good toy for puppy teething.
5. A good toy is a stick wrapped in cloth Luigi likes to rip of the cloth so we have to re make it lots.
7. Kong wubba. This is Luigis best toy. You can throw it. You can play tug of war and your dog can chew it.
   
8. Kong jumpn jack is good for pushing food into it for the dog to find.
