Wraps and Tunnels and Nicknames

Don't all dogs collect nicknames? Zane sure does. Some of his from early days:
Zaney Brainy
Zaney McBrainy
Zanish McTavish (after DH said he needed a Scottish name as he's a redhead)
Toadbelly
Doodlebug
Duder-head

And more recent ones (based on his growing up and pushing limits):
Butthead
Booger-butt

And when he's being adorable and a butthead, he is:
Boogerbutteriness


Spent several short sessions yesterday working on downs and tuck sits - going for speed on both. No more thinking about it! Just do it. Also did a quickie with his retrieve articles. Just asking for the bite - no hold yet. Every morning for breakfast he is learning to go to his mat and lie down. I'm now working on duration with that.

This morning we went out to the agility field. He loves the tunnel! But look at the legs on that boy. He's all legs right now!



He is also learning to wrap around a cone. This is a new technique for me. . . I've always shaped it, but found a segment on the Control Unleashed Games DVDs interesting, so thought I'd give it a try.
