Training Blinds

2012-02-26T14:29:00.002-08:00

Here is a video of myself practicing blinds, I'm very good at it, I'm not just saying that, that's what I hear over and over again, besides love biting that pillow. My webpage is getting an upgrade, keep an eye out for new stuff.

Tracking my way to my titles

2012-01-18T04:45:00.000-08:00

Hi I've been tracking lately, even in cold weather by my owner/handler's idea of cold (is not really that cold, her blood must be very thin). I'm good, good, good, that's all I hear when I find those little articles with her scent on them, and I'm happy, happy, happy cause I get treats every time I find them. But honesty aside I am a very good boy ! Later gotta go train.

Boomer back in training

2011-09-12T20:14:00.000-07:00

I'm back in training. Working on my BH and Schutzhund titles. My training is coming along just fine, I know my obedience pattern, and my tracking is coming along very nicely. I learned this summer to do article indication outside the track and recently introduced the articles on the track, is a lot of fun. Glad the heat is over, it's still a bit hot now and then, but is less and less.

Summer Training

2011-08-13T15:06:00.000-07:00

While I am still training for my BH, I am also preparing for my VPG1 trial too. This summer I've been tracking and learning article indication which is a lot of fun for me, I get a lot of treats when I properly indicate and love tracking. Come trial season I will be ready.

Boomer Training Dumbbell Retrieve

2011-05-27T06:19:00.000-07:00

I'm training dumbbell retrieves, I have a good steady grip, and I owe it all to Sammy. She keeps trying to take my toys away, so I must hold my toys hard w/o mouthing so my dumbbell holds are nice steady strong holds !!!

Boomer rules Sammy drools !

Boomer trains for his BH

2011-04-08T17:41:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's true I am preparing for my BH, but also my CD and CGC. No girl boxer is going to get the best of me. And no big guy (Thor) is going to get his way either. After all I am Boomer the Great, I can do anything I set my mind to.

Here are some photos of my training, it takes a while to train a handler, they can be slow, this one is a pretty quick learner.

Boomer training fast recall

2010-08-30T08:47:00.000-07:00

Boomer is training the recall. Boomer is preparing for his upcoming BH trial. He is very fast, the camera can't catch him all the time.

Boomer wants to get a high BH so that he can go in the new bed deal !!!

Boomer training blinds

Boomer has been training blinds lately, early before the heat sets in. Actually he's pretty good, working on a video.

Preparing for my BH Title

2010-03-20T04:38:00.000-07:00

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy !!! I'm ready for my BH title, now where is a trial when you need one?! That's ok, we'll keep getting better and ready for our Schutzhund titles too !!!

Is just a matter of time for us to get our BH title and continue to our schutzhund titles, in the mean time practice, practice and play, play. Is hard to keep up with Sammy and Thor, but I'm no quitter and I work hard too and my handler helps me a lot, soon, I too will get my titles. So watch out Sammy & Thor, cause here comes Boomer !!!

Training for BH and Schutzhund 1

2009-03-26T16:13:00.000-07:00

I am preparing for my BH later this year and my Schutzhund 1 trial after that, so I have a pretty busy schedule. That does not mean that I don't have play time, because I do.

I am getting better at tracking, there is nothing I can't find at this time. My tracks are getting longer and turns are being introduced, is sooo much fun. I can't wait to learn article indication and put them on the track, I bet I can learn to find them, too.

I'm doing pretty good in obedience too. Heeling with attention, retrieving and learning the jump and the wall. The send out is in the bag, pretty fast if I my say so. Dumbbell retrieve is a piece of cookie to me. I'm just having lots of fun learning all this stuff.

My long down needs a little work, I don't like to just lay there doing nothing for a long time, is very boring to me, but I'm working on it and will get better at it.

In protection, I'm currently working on the hold and bark, blind search and escape. Is coming along very nicely, but I need to get better at controlling myself, I get excited and get a little carried away.

We are on our way to our first trial, and then the adventure continues, I am looking forward to trialing with my handler Luis in the near future, we are a good team.

Schutzhund Protection Seminar

2009-01-19T17:38:00.000-08:00

My owner/handler Luis and I went to a Protection seminar given by our friend Carl. The seminar was a two day seminar and we learned a lot. We had a great time, I love to chase the leather rag that Carl was holding and moving around and pull his arm out of its socket.

We also played more than once and we ran around and I even got to practice my bites and show them that I am maturing and I'm on my way to become a Schutzhund boxer.

Boomer Training for BH

2008-11-30T03:44:00.000-08:00

I am training for my BH. I have almost everything in the obedience routine down pat. The heeling with attention is super, the moving exercises ok too, the only thing I do not like too much, but I am getting used to, is the down with distraction.

Why I have to have a down with distractions, for the whole obedience exercise routine while the other dog is having fun in the field, is beyond me. But as I understand it, I will also get to do my obedience routine with my handler, so I'll be having some fun out in the field, too. It is hard for me not to be moving, I am a boxer, a hunter, a mobile dog. But I am getting better at the down with distractions.

Soon I will be ready and there is always a trial coming around the corner, so I'll be seeing you at the next Schutzhund Trial, trialing for my BH.
