Penny and Libby at the Library

Published on by lloyjennifer

Several year ago I decided to certify Penny and Libby as Therapy Dogs. Penny and Libby go to the local library several times a month to read with the children. It’s absolutely priceless to see so many children wanting to read book to the girls.  It’s adorable when the kids insist on the dogs looking at the pictures or when the kids first learn to turn the book and show everyone else the picture.

Libby From My Shoulder View

Published on by lloyjennifer

Prior to Libby going on maternity leave she and I decided to learn the new AKC Rally signs that came out April 2012.

The last night of class our instructor (Pat Ames) developed a course for us. This was not only because I wanted to run Libby through a course before her maternity vacation, but also because I wanted to video Libby from my view.

Here is the list of signs used for the course:

  1. Start (#1)
  2. Send Over Jump/Handler Pass By (#103)
  3. Halt 90o Pivot Left Halt (#107)
  4. 270o Right (#9)
  5. Halt, Down, Sit (#114)
  6. Down and Stop (#27)
  7. Halt, Left Turn –Forward (#33)
  8. Halt Side Step Right Halt (#109)
  9. Left Turn (#6)
  10. Fast Forward From Sit (28)
  11. Normal Pace (#19)
