Archer and "His" Skateboard

Archer Loves His Skateboard. Now the Skateboard actually belongs to my son, Ben; but Archer found in on our back porch many months ago and decided to make it is on. Ben may disagree with this but at least he does not mind Archer playing with the board. I wish I could take credit for this but it is all Archer. All I have done is encourage it. The skateboard is really perfect for dogs to play with and translates well to tip and wobble board which he also loves. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!



Well it has been a while since my last post but I have been busy. Christmas, the holidays etc. I have had some time off and have really started training Archer even more in the last few weeks. We are working on teeter positions, touch targeting and I have set up a pvc box to work on running A frame contacts. Baby steps for everything but I want a strong foundation for the best results! He is a hoot. We have a large snow storm about 2 weeks ago. 24 + inches. The dogs loved it. But Archer also found his love of mountain climbing. We have a large snow pile by our fence, I know it would be an issue and I tried to make it too steep to climb but clearing I failed. I let the dogs out and went back inside for about 5 minutes. When I came back, no Archer! at this point we had over 20 inches of snow on the ground. I called his name and he barked back! I followed his back to my neighbor's driveway. Quite a walk he took himself on considering the snow. Still not sure how he got that far that fast but as I should have named him bounce I guess I could guess.
