Miley's in Clean Run Magazine


Miley is on page four of Clean Run Magazine the Feb. 2008 issue. She won 3rd place for J and J dog supplies photo contest. Yea!!!!
Now on another note: She is a wild women on the agility field. I was training today. I use food to help teacher a specific behavior. But I noticed today that she was running kinda slow. So later I was changing the course for the next practice and she wanted to run. So I put her through the tunnel and some jumps. She was very excited and ran very fast. So my thought is that food slows her down. But when she is excited she jumps up in the air alot and sometimes grabs my clothes. But before I even know she did anything, Ill have a hold in my sleeve. She has put holes in one jacket, a couple of shirts and now a sweatshirt. It makes me so mad. I usually don't even notice it. Then it is to late to correct it. Ive been trying to use a negative sound when she jumps up beside me and that helps. But most of the time she is just to fast. I did leave the field today when she got my sweatshirt. I don't want her to be slow by using food but I also want her to control herself. We didn't have a very good practice today. I just wasn't giving the info fast enough or the right way. I'm not sure what was wrong with me. Miley was barking on and off for an hour last night. Not the , I have to go out bark, more like I hear something. But the other dogs weren't barking. So at 2am I got up and took her out. She did use the bathroom. I didn't have her go in her crate when we came back in, so the rest of the night was quiet but it took me another hour to fall asleep.
I ran Guiness too. He is very happy to run agility. I also talked to the Rehab vet and she talked to anther ortho vet. He said he would recommend cutting the tendon completely. So that seems drastic. Im not sure what to do.
