| Class #5
Well, Betty's class went pretty good today. The trainer wanted to give her dog a break today, so we worked more on commands, and left her dog inside today. She did very well.
I also got some information from her on AKC Rally as well. We are going to begin some of her training now, as we work on her socialization. On days of bad weather, we will work in her garage on the Rally training, and on good days, dog socialization outside. She's pretty confident we can beat this fear aggression, and she feels Betty will be Outstanding at Rally, and even Obedience. Then, once this is done, she feels we could even go on to Agility, and maybe Utility. Will see what the future holds.

| Don't let the tail fool you. Many Blues and red heelers are born with tails and they are docked at birth or shortly there after. She is lucky... She got to keep hers! This will provide her many hours of enjoyment. We have a pair of 'twin' girls that closely resemble your girl and they have the long tails.
She is beautiful tho... Congrats! And I am happy to read at how well her classes are going!

| Our girls chase their own tails. They catch sight of it moving or flickering and they don't match that movement as one of their own in their brain and they attack it. It is sooo funny! Or they attack each others tails... Ours are still young about 8 months and little balls of energy. Of course they ride on the 4-wheeler behind you and act like they own it... Silly pups! LOL
Yup gotta love Heelies!!! |

| Mine hasn't chased her tail yet, lol. Would be interesting to see. But she has lots to play with though, as well as going out on walks,etc. So she keeps pretty busy, enough not to notice her tail, lol. And she's about a year old.
