New Wordpress Plugin

Posted by admin on June 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

I found a pretty useful WordPress plugin that allows you to have pop-up images in your posts. Here is a nice little picture of Isaac that Jen sent me from when he was still living at the breeders.

The FlickrTips plugin seems to be rather quick and not too terribly annoying like some pop-ups that seem to hang around too long or are hard to get rid of. I am going to look to see if I can change the color of the underline that shows up when the link is to an image. Also it doesn’t seem to like images with ?POST data.

I also found this picture which I thought was quite amusing. This is classic helper attire (shorts, sandals, bandanna, and sunglasses). Is that a cigarette or some type of training aid I’m not familiar with?

Moving away from Fecal matters

In an effort to move away from all things fecal here are a couple pictures of Isaac and the boy. The only training that has takingen place this week has been tug-o-war and chase things. Yes, I know that these fly in the face of my no dogs in bed rule……

12 Weeks

Posted by admin on June 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

Isaac is 12 weeks old today and I posted new pictures of the German Shepherd Dog at www.duffeyclan.com.

Yesterday Isaac paid his first visit to the Indian Creek Schutzhund Club for a little tracking, obedience, and socialization. He saw two of his brothers and sat out a wicked storm crated in the car (not trauma). Tracking went well and he’s doing fine, most of the issues are mine. I thought he did well in obedience considering the distractions, we were in a metal roof building filled with people with rain pounding down. He did his fuss, sitz, platz. He still struggles with going from platz to sitz.

Was heavy rain this AM so there was no tracking going on, might try and get something in right before lunch if the grass is still damp.

Was able to track in the afternoon (did well). Moved forward and he got praise after moving back on track after veering off. I probably had the leash too tight (bad habit need to resolve).

Worked on Platz (isolated from any other commands). Not sure if he doesn’t understand the command or is just blowing me off. When he does Platz he jumps to the ground.
