When we were lost in a maze of training, your comments often gave us hints for getting out of it. Thank you so much!<br /><br />We hope to keep making leaps along with you two!<br /><br />Love,<br />Cinnamon and her mumCinnamon and Minthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619271665722937945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-81221472669566290992010-01-01T13:45:59.702-05:002010-01-01T13:45:59.702-05:00Wow, what an incredible post Sam!

After all, you're taking a very difficult dog to work with, from a hard rescue situation, and completely turned her around to the point where she can be a good, functioning house dog. You've even been successful enough to be able to train her for agility. And she's only your first dog! I don't think many of us can claim that kind of success with many of our dogs, especially the first one we've owned. You have an incredible determination and attitude that's kept you going with Marge, and is probably the reason why she trusts you so much. I look forward to reading more about your adventures with her, and I'm glad you've been kind enough to share your experiences with us here on the blogosphere. Here's to another fabulous year with our dogs - who knows what good things 2010 will bring for all of us!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744856901879577950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-55078086215134819892010-01-01T11:08:58.495-05:002010-01-01T11:08:58.495-05:00I'm sure you'll make many more leaps this ...I'm sure you'll make many more leaps this year. Someone suggested to me making a training journal to help keep track of progress & keep things in perspective. It's my doggie new-years resolution, think it'll be really telling to look back on! <br /><br />Brutus and I have a CPE trial tomorrow & Sunday, so there will certainly be videos to come (don't want you to go into withdrawl!). Much bigger event than the other agility trial we competed in after Thanksgiving (almost 400 runs each day), and now we are Level 2 in most classes (having leveled out of CL-1 in all but Snooker & Jackpot, which we will be playing for the first time - ugh). Wish us luck!!<br /><br />Michelle & BrutusBRUTUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876504197398697370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-8735295869554350992010-01-01T10:51:55.000-05:002010-01-01T10:51:55.000-05:00Hi Marge and Sam,

Doing agility - or any dog-sport - for that matter is supposed to be FUN for you and the dog. That's the WHOLE purpose and intent. You may have become discouraged at times but Marge never once wanted to quit on you - never.<br /><br />Both of you are a team, and a GOOD team. Competition or no competition, the two of you have a bright future as friends and companions on this agility course we call life.<br /><br />Here's to another year of friendship and smiles and holding up each other through the trials.Scout and Freyjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423843978069675292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-37237116582457850152010-01-01T09:21:10.084-05:002010-01-01T09:21:10.084-05:00What a great way to look at things..

You just going back through your blog, I can see all the accomplishments you have made, together.<br /><br />I have to quote this part of your post .."When presented with a hurdle, I've found that an individual only has two choices. No matter how long you mull it over or put it off, everything comes down to one final decision: you either make the leap, or you don't. There is no other way to slice it."<br /><br />No truer words ever spoken! Excellent way of looking at it!<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and yours.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089318003200939942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768075887820301634.post-90370704192037835632009-12-31T22:12:00.100-05:002009-12-31T22:12:00.100-05:00Woo've akhkhomplished so much TOGETHER!

You and Marge should both be so proud of what you have done...and especially amazing because she is your first dog. What you have taken on is not that easy -it is a huge job, and you both have done marveously. You have been a patient, kind and wise trainer and Marge has been such a brave dog with a heart of gold-so brave to face so many of her fears. I think it is a lot easier for others outside to see the progress we are making sometimes then it is for the person involved to see, and I see so much progress with you and Marge. It always makes me feel so good to read about you and Marge and what you have been doing because it makes me feel so good to know there are people out there like you, and like Marge willing to take the journey and keep putting one foot in front of the other even when you get discouraged. I KNOW 2010 is going to bring GREAT things for you two, and some backslides,...but I also know when those happen you will learn and keep moving on. YOU HAVE SUCH A GRAT ATTITUDE. You both should be so proud of yourself!
