Ahhh! Now I get it! So that’s where the term “goatee” comes from. It’s funny how goatees on men give them a bit of a sinister look, but on a goat, with their bedroom eyes and pink smiles, they just look darlin’.

Does anybody out there have the illusion that having a working dog will help pick up some of the slack around your house? Think again!

It was a lovely Friday afternoon at Lake Leman. I let the dogs off leash in an area where they wouldn’t bother anyone. Juno went down shore a bit to sniff out the beach while I watched Loki focus on a duck close to shore. Loki doesn’t like water so I knew the duck was safe from him. [...]

“She’s perfect,” said Juno’s Physical Torturer, Therapist, Mme. Gauthier. She noticed Juno’s walking gate was a perfect long, stress-free stride. Juno rolls her eyes. “Sibes don’t come any other way lady.”

There’s a new breed of Husky in town–the Hydroberian! Juno’s back on the water treadmill as she was same time last year. As expected, she’s not too pleased about it. But we’re all pleased with the results! “Yeah, I know the drill. Woo torture the husky by drowning her jodhpurs. And I walk the hydroplank. ”

Looks like Juno found her Inner Woo!

No time… no time for anything but a video. For the Herd and anyone who has 3 minutes to waste, entertain themselves. There’s a surprise ending.

So you’re probably already thinking, “WTF does that title even mean?” Well if you’ve ever met Loki, you know he’s a cracked out mess with anything that he’s never seen before. “Ya, I see the cows, but they better not look at me!”

Like all stereotypical males, Mr. Wild Dingo enjoys critiquing my driving skills. Last month I drove Mr. Wild Dingo to the airport. Loki and Juno came with us and provided an eye-opening, err … ear-opening critique of Mr. Wild Dingo’s driving skills. Internet, feel free to make your own judgements. But I feel the impartial critics have [...]

One fear down, 87,000 more fears to go. Looks like Loki’s 12 step program got him over his crate fear. “This is a nice pad, but it’s a little cramped for my style. Where will I fit the baby grand piano and the water bed?”

“Hey Big Boy, now that you’re an Iron Dog, let’s see how much Iron you’re really made of.”

Loki received his FeD (Dogtorate of Iron) this weekend. Iron Dog is a certification at our school, The K-9 Clinic. From the day I found out about this certification almost 2 years ago, I’ve wanted to Loki to go for it. I was determined to bring out his better (working) qualities and work through his [...]

That’s the rule at Wild Dingo. “That’s ridiculous. Clearly she can see there are two dogs on this bed.”

Our Loki has a penis the size of “heroic” proportions. For the definition of “heroic proportions” see Michelangelo’s David and you’ll understand why. (Hint: big muscles=small willy.) “Ya, that’s right. I’m the man.”

“Iiiiiii don’t wanna work. Iiiiiiii wanna bite on the sibe all daaaay!” “Err, Mom? Can you please take me to Dogtor Hilary and have this growth removed?”

Many of Wild Dingo’s regular readers have come to know Juno to have a, um, “taste” for shoes. “I have no idea what you are referring to, Mom. I found these shoes like this.”

I’m back from the land of the Cyber-dead, since my ISP is now back up and working. I will catch up with the SocNet scene soon! The last few weeks I’ve been working Loki and Juno on different behaviors. Here’s Loki below (in the videos, not the photo!) doing some retrieve, directed jumping and heeling [...]

Two weeks ago, Loki and Juno went to a warehouse training class with our training clinic. During the week, they vary the locations at beaches, warehouses, empty retail stores and even dog parks to reinforce the mantra, “obedience, anytime, anyplace.” I love training my dogs because it builds a very close relationship to them. After a [...]

Last Friday, I was super busy running around to post offices and Visa organizations trying to fix the status of my eaten passport. The chaps at the Visa office and the town clerk recorder’s office had a good chuckle at the story. Anyway, by the time I got home, there was no time for a [...]

Happy Friday! Loki’s released his first two short videos: Training for NitWits. Don’t try this at home kids. Here are two videos of Loki doing a “down during a recall” exercise. One thing I learned is that it’s a lot harder to handle your dog and video at the same time than it seems. Body [...]
