Bicycle Trip - The Documentary!

Here it is - the long version of the bike trip with the Doxies! It was a lot of work putting together all those video clips from this trip, but finally it’s done. As for the Doxies, they really enjoyed this trip! The weather was good, not too hot and no rain! The gravel roads were good for biking and the paws didn’t get soar. This trip took place on the roads between Fefor and Fagerli, on August 6th, 2009. The Doxies are getting a little tired (and thirsty) at the end of the trip, and we had to make a few stops to cool down in some of the many creeks along the road! After all, they had been on their feet all day, including a lunch break where they saw the opportunity to run away and chase some sheep that strode along on a trail nearby!

I hope you enjoy watching this bicycle trip featuring Aurora and Frøya!

Bicycle Trip with the Doxies

Here’s a short version of one of our bicycle trips last summer. The trip took place on the mountain roads near Fagerli. The full documentary version of the trip is coming very soon to this blog! Stay tuned!

On the search for a Hot Dog!

It is due time to update the blog! The winter is really not the favorite season for obedience training; the doxies simply think it’s too cold to lie down in the snow when it’s -10 C, the paws get really cold too!
Instead we try to do some alternative training like skiing, following tracks from deer or rabbit and snuggling in front of the fireplace! Searching for pieces of Hot Dogs in the snow is also a popular activity!
Here a couple of studies of Aurora and Frøya on the quest for Hot Dogs in the backyard!

Hvordan slå av denne dachsen?

Er det noen der ute i den store Internet verden som vet hvordan man får slått av denne forferdelige lyden? Hvor er AV-KNAPPEN??
Finnes det piller eller dråper eller snop som gjør at hun ikke lager slik LYD?
Gode råd mottas med takk!

Bevegelig blodsporprøve

1. november 2009.
I dag gikk Aurora og jeg vår første bevegelige blodsporprøve, og jammen klarte den lille tulla vår å gå inn til en 1. premie!!!
Vi har riktignok prøvd oss pÃ¥ en ordinær prøve tidligere i høst, men da sporet vi helt av før vi var halvveis i løypa…
Denne gangen var konsentrasjonen pÃ¥ topp hos oss begge, og vi lot oss ikke lure av opphold i vinkel, selv om vi mÃ¥tte jobbe litt ekstra der! Det var smÃ¥kaldt og vÃ¥tt i sporet, men er man ivrig sÃ¥ er man ivrig…
Den viktigste grunnen til fremgangen vår er nok at jeg har sluttet å vise henne retningen med armen når hun mister sporet, nå peker jeg i stedet ned i bakken for å få henne til å søke videre. Det fungerer mye bedre (siden jeg ikke vet retningen når vi går prøve)!

Veldig fornøyd med innsatsen i dag!

Viser stolt frem premien!
