Serbu Tibetan Terriers

Dharma is still up to being my best bud and in the process adding a few more agility titles to her name. WTG D

Guilty is proving that what he lacks in coat he will more then make up with in agility. He is picking things up quick. I am having a hard time not pushing him since he still has 6 months before he old enough to compete. Watch out world he is well on his way.

Kizz- She is finally getting the hang of the harder equipment of agiliy so I suspect it will not be much longer and she will be out earning a name for herself besides the TT that wants to be a lowchen (she is so happy with her nakie lowchen butt haircut)

Pip- Still is surprising us with not growing the tumors that multiple doctors said he should have by now.

And our newest Resident who does not have a page yet is Bounce who is a 3.5 yr old bitch that Amy Soderman let come to live here. She is awesome in the breed ring earning a few points and a couple of wins over specials in just a few shows. Even though I want to do agility with her for now she will be hanging in the breed ring since she is silly about the idea of working for her cookies. She is a princess and wants staff. I love having her here and can’t thank Amy enough for letting silly girl Bounce to come here.

I have one younger female TT available for placement. If you are interested in her please email me @ jami@serbutibetanterriers.com

Today’s challenge is more you then the dog, motivation. Today’s your 5 minute challenge is to put your usual motivators away and try to find something new and different to get your dog to do any of its normal tricks.

For Dharma this was hard because I frequently use toys, treats, verbal praise, and just interaction (high fives and scratches) but I ended up using the other dogs.  I was practicing stays with Dharma and after the desired time limit I would release her and get all the dogs incited in to a game of tag, then would have Dharma stay and then repeated the reward.

Kizzie really like the cookies but since I was trying to do something different I practiced sitting with Kizzie and then would reward her by sending her through the agility tunnel.  It seemed to work pretty well.

Now it is your turn to find something new to motivate your dog in training.

Good Luck and Have Fun.

All pups are over a pound finally. Two of the pups have started to open their eyes.

Little girl with the eye thing is one that has open a eye and it was the eye we needed open so now it is easier to clean it.
