Training training and more training....

Sorry I haven't written anything in a while.  I have been busier then usual.  One thing is the training of Pepsi.  I have been working with him a lot.  He goes to a trainer once a week for an hour and we are working on the skills during the week.  I am hoping that when it is time to show he will be in excellent shape to win some points.

This weekend we have the opportunity to do a run through of the AKC canine citizenship test.  He has it mostly down.  Just a few squeaks here and there that need to be polished up.

He is progressing well with the therapy training as well.  The training really kills two birds with one stone.  He is over trained for the therapy work at this point.  He didn't really need all this training but it is good for him.  I was sick the last two weekends so we didn't do anything with the therapy work.  But we are on schedule for this weekend.  We are going to a site to work with children.

I went to the hospital to do the orientation.  I would have brought him along if I had known he was welcome.  Oh well.  It went very well and I have started the paper work so we can do hospital visits.  Just have to wait until he is properly registered and I have the paperwork in hand.  Then we go for an interview to see if we can fit into the hospital setting.

I also got myself a part time job as a gardener.  Some of you know that I love gardening.  I get paid for my time and for the flowers.  This also gives me some spending money for all our doggy needs!!

Tito is charting to be around 2 1/2 lbs fully grown.  In eight days he will be four months old.  He is so tiny, he feels like a 6 week old chi to me, but I have started to train him as well.  He is getting the sit command down, and he did well with the "park it" command.
