Paws Up! Its Friday! - Total concentration

It's that day once again! Today, we have been once again practicing our tricks - and Earl has really had to concentrate!

Balancing kibbles on the head and the front legs:

The legs part was totally new to us today!

Some 'dancing' for joy that it's finally Friday!

Weavies in between my legs (in a crossed position for extra difficulty):

The utterly tempting treat scatter (leave it!)…:

Some heelwork:

Now for a quick brush up! The following photos will show you what Earl's beautiful fur looks like before and after a groom.

BEFORE

AFTER

Earl sports his grooming brush with real flare:

You see, we used some of Earl's kibble for this training, therefore Earl does not consume extra treats when he is at a good weight now. 

So you firstly measure out your dog's dinner, and take what you want for treats out and serve up the rest in whatever way you desire.

This is especially handy if you're watching your dog's weight.

Happy Friday!

And just to tip off this fab day well and truly good, shall we congratulate Sarah and her Parson Russell Terrier, Smurf, who both concord SuperStar Dogs: Countdown To Crufts (Channel 4) which has been showing on TV for a few weeks now. We are so pleased they won - go Terriers! Smurf is adorable and I can't wait to see his winning presentation at Crufts 2014 tomorrow!

Who else has been watching SuperStar Dogs?

Congratulations to the lovely pair!

See y'all tomorrow for our Crufts report!!!
