WEEKEND WITH WILSON!

This weekend Wilson has spend a few hours with us when Johanna has been working. Yaya and he loves eachother so my job is to try to keep them apart... ;o) Wilson looks like he has been in a fight with a cat after they have played... scratches every where from Yaya's sharp teeth.
On Saturday we drove to Stora Skuggan and played on one of the big fields. Yaya had to stay in a lead but the "big" dogs got to play.
Suddenly my phone rings and it's Carina who just happend to be at the same place. Carina and Micke had driven there for the first time to walk the dogs. What a great coinscident! So the dogs got to play some more and Wilson now fell in love with Fendi and had to show off his moves... Hrmm...
Of course I took the opportunity to use Carina to help me take some new stacks of him. I thought it might go a bit better now when he had played and had less energy trying to get to the other dogs... so maybe he could focus now... (See the results in his photoalbum)

Here are some pictures from our walk.

FINALLY SOME UPDATES!

I have now had a week off which has been great since I moved to my new apartment last Thuesday. A lot of things had been done before that, but there is still some painting to do and always that small stuff here and there...

I just got my interne????^?t to work today so here are plenty of updates from the past two weeks at once!So let's see where to start! Like I mentioned we moved on Thuesday last week and I had my last few days at work after that before my holiday.

On Wednesday my friend Magda who is in the same class as me studying to become a dogtrainer picked up Dando. She is also training to be a dog psychologist and she had four days of chantarellesearch in her education. So she borrowed Dando for this which was great timing for me because of the move. He was a bit slow at the start but eventualy got the hang of it and did great!

On Friday morning I signed the last papers on my apartment that I've sold and then went straight to my dogtrainer class. This weekend we had klickertraining. Yaya and Moa got to try it out and did great, offering several behaviours. The got to "play" with a box and follow a target stick. On Sunday Dando was back with us so he also got to come along. He also got to try some and we started with the "mousepad". He did awesome so since the weekend I have been klicking the dogs one on one at home.
My goal is so evetually teach Dando "rutan" for obedienceclass 2, but that is still very far away.

On Monday we met up with my friend Peter and his dog Java and went for a walk in Ursvik and the off to do some arrends in Barkarby. Thank you for your great company and especially the lovely IKEA lunch! ;o)
Later that day we went to see Johanna and Wilson. He gets so unbelievably happy when he sees us so I pretty much gave up any attempts on stacking him since he couldn't focus a????^?t all... he just wanted to play with Yaya... (A couple of pictures of him here)

On Thuesday we met up with Liselott and Wesley who we haven't seen for a long time. We went for a nice walk in Ursvik. I'm not sure if Moa was to happy about it, she was beeing followed by Wesley the whole walk and she didn't exactly appreciate it... But what can you do!? Pretty girls has boys running after them! ;o)
Thank you Liselott for a nice catch up and see you again soon!

On Wednesday we met up with Magda and one of her dogs, Lotta in the woods. Magda was going to teach me chantarellesearch with Dando. He knew exactly what to do, so it was just me who needed the training in timing my click and reward. Dando enjoys it a little bit to much, because he eats the chantarelles. So we are trying to make him mark when he founds a chantarelle by sitting down. At the moment he eats it first and then sits down... ;o)

Yaya and Dando

TRAINING TIME!

Last Friday and yesterday we met up with Johanna and Wilson at the dogclub for some agility. The babies Yaya and Wilson got to try out the tunnels and balance obsticles and the grown ups Dando and Moa got to do some jumping and more difficult things to.

Yaya has so far been amazingly easy to train in obedience. She reacts quickly and has great eyecontact. And of course it helps that she LOVES food! And not just food, everything thing that fits in her mouth will do!
For you who have met Dando knows what I mean when I say that Yaya is ten times worse than him when it comes to food... She will probably do anything for a little breadcrumb!

So the dogs got to do some obedience and agility and we also took a new stack of Yaya (see her own page) and a few headshots of Wilson who was now standing a little bit more still when he started to get tired... ;o)

Mixed pictures below.

FINALLY A REPORT FROM OUR WEEKEND ON THE WESTCOAST!

We drove down to Varberg on Thursday a week ago to spend a few days the????^?re, with hopes for some relaxing time in the sun. We walked to the ocean in the afternoon to let Dando and Moa stretch out on the beach and go for a swim. Yaya got to come along and she seems to like water.
She walked into the ocean without a problem dipping her feet in the water. Moa was in heaven! She loves the ocean and she is so much fun watching when she plays in it. She runs straight out into the ocean jumping over waves.

YAYA HAS ARRIVED!

With the best possible impression Yaya has stepped into our lives and is making herself a part of our little team. She has amazed me with her great personality and coolness. Walking along the street nothing seems so bother her, not cars, motorcycles, buses, bikes or people. She has her mind set on other things like sticks, pinecones and Dando or Moa.

We have spend this weekend pretty much just chilling, or at least the dogs have. Since I'm moving I have to get the apartment ready to show which means packing things up and cleaning. So when the dogs have been sleeping I have kept myself busy doing that.
We have mostly stayed on the backside of my house but also gone on a few short walks. She is already getting to know her way around both indoors and outdoors.

On Sunday I went to World Dog Show to show Vegas (Hamnuddens De Stijl), so Micke (his owner) got to watch my dogs while I was away. Vegas did well recieving Excellent but wasn't placed in the large Championclass.
It went better for his daughter Fendi who was rewarded Excellent-4 in Openclass bitches in stiff competition with 40 entries!
Fendis (and Moas) mum Rex Ventors Isola was Excellent-2 in a large Championbitch class. Congratulations to you all!

I now have a week off work and we will spend most of the time at home, but on Thursday we are driving to Varberg to spend a few days at our house ????^? there so that Yaya will get to see something else!

Pictures from our first weekend below.

On Monday I went to see an apartment in Helenelund, Sollentuna. It needs some work but has great potential, so... I decided I wanted it! If everything goes well I'm signing the papers tomorrow and then it's mine from August 1st.
It is 65 m2, 2 rooms and a big kitchen and bathroom. And not to forget, it's own outdoor deck with fence around towards a big grassarea????^?!
So on my freetime (!) this summer me and my helpful parents will be renovading this apartment and making it perfect! And so I'm selling my nice little apartment in Hägersten. It feels a bit strange that I will move away after fours years here, and five years on the South side. But I guess it's time to go back to the North side now... I will miss both the apartment but mostly the great company from the best neighbours ever, Carina and Micke! But I will only live about 20 minutes away so it isn't to bad...

Today after work I drove to SEA and met up with Liselott and Wesley who we haven't seen for a while. Dando has a crush on both of them and always get so excited when he sees them! Shaking his whole body in happiness and making little sounds!
We walked to the lake Gömman where the dogs got to swim and play!
I have some mixed pictures of the dogs below. Unfortunately not many with them all together... they were moving to much...

Now I have one day tomorrow to "rest" my head before Yaya arrives on Friday... I'm guessing no more sleep-ins for a while...

On Friday we left with my Dad and brother-in-law and drove to our cottage in Småland. I needed to get away from town for a few days and just relax! And I think so did the dogs!
We have spend pretty much all our time outdoors walking, helping the hunters, tracking, training and of course just been lazy! Moa absolutely loves the freedom and you hardly ever see her in the garden. Most of the time she is off walking ????^?on her own nearby.
She also takes her job as a guarddog very seriously always letting me know when one of the hunters is on his way. Only when I've seen them ten times that day I don't need to know anymore... ;o)
Dando loves to just chill with the boys and relax in the grass. Neither one of the dogs are to fond of the bugs though... They have probably swallowed about a hundred each this weekend... urk...
It's been a good weekend but it feels good to be home. I only work four days this week aswell before going to Helsinki to visit.... with three of my closest friends! It will so nice to go on a cruise with you girls! I can't wait!

Enjoy the pictures from our weekend below!

Today I have the day off and also the weekend. So in the afternoon I will be going down to Småland to spend the weekend there. It will be nice to get out of town for a few days. We will try do some fieldtracking since we haven't done that for a while.
And if the weather is good I'm hoping for some swimming in the lake! Pictures will of course be added next week!

Next friday I'm going to Finland to meet Anne Sassi at kennel Tarujen and meet my girl for the first time! I am really exited and counting the days!
I hope sh????^?e will be what I am hoping for, beacuse then she will be coming over here two weeks later! Cross you fingers!

I have a little bug on the page which I hope will soon be fixed. My updates on the startpage doesn't appear right away, yo have to press Startpage in the meny to see the last update.
I hope this will be sorted soon!


I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE MY FRIEND MAGDA AND HER DOG LOTTA WHO BECAME SVCH TODAY!
