- Hey guys, I just got to the Ren's pet sale,
pent sale.
- Tent sale.
- (laughs)
(guitar strum)
(dog barks)
- Good morning!
- Well we're back at the arena again.
I guess we're suckers for punishment.
We are working on the puppies, the border collie puppies.
And by puppies I mean three years old,
but they're sort of puppies still.
Today's mission is to work on tunnels.
Both of these dogs (laughs) are really obsessed with
tunnels and I don't mean in a good way.
So that's the focus for this morning's training sessions.
So far, so good.
I think the dogs like this topic.
(classical music)
(record screeches)
(background conversation)
- Okay!
(upbeat music)
- Back, back, back, back.
(unintelligible commands)
- Back, back, back, back, yeah!
- Yeah!
- Jamie and I were just marveling at the fact that
the border collies, Rat and Grin,
are actually lying down on our walk, so.
- Shocking.
- (laughs) It's not a normal occurrence.
I think that our little agility session this morning
was challenging, and I actually think what was challenging
about it was really mental for them.
- Absolutely.
- We didn't really run them that much to be honest with you.
But we did some things that were--
- Made them think.
- Yeah, made them think for sure.
Yeah, it was good.
I wouldn't say it was as successful as it was yesterday,
but I think it was more like, productive.
- Breaking things down a bit more.
- Yeah, it was good.
We feel better actually after today than yesterday,
which is always a good thing.
(upbeat music)
(electronic music)
- Any good tent sale, begins with a bouncy castle.
- Hey guys, I just got to the Ren's pet tent sale.
I had to say that slowly because it's
quite a mouthful for me apparently.
- It's like loose leash.
- Loose leash.
Anyways, we're here in Waterdown
and it's pretty happenin' today, which is awesome.
We are here at the McCann booth.
I'm here with instructor Steve.
- What's happening guys?
- And we're just talking to a lot of the locals today
about dog training tips and suggestions,
and about classes and a whole buncha stuff.
We've met a lot of people already actually.
I've only been here for about maybe ten minutes
and already we've had a couple conversations.
So we're enjoying the beautiful weather,
and I brought the pup pup pup.
There she is.
Thought I would do a little bit of socialization with her.
And, yeah (laughs).
- We're having some fun though,
we're seeing lots of our students which is kinda nice.
- Yeah, I've seen a few.
- Seeing them using all the skills we've taught them.
- Yep.
- I do like seeing that.
- Steve and I want to make a funny video of pet peeves
that dog trainers have for pet owners.
- Yeah.
- But we're not sure if people will think it's funny.
- There's a lot of misinformation about a lot of things,
and a lot of patchwork that people put together.
I like the cobbling, the MacGyver-ing,
of training aids (laughs).
- Yes this is true.
Or the token, "Sit down! Sit down! Sit down!".
Is it sit or is it down?
Or is it sit, then down?
- It's like jumbo shrimp. We don't know.
- See, we are confused.
So, so is your dog.
- Are you the guest or the host? I don't know (laughs).
- As you can see we're having fun.
- Ready?
- What is four minus three?
(dog barks once)
Yes, good girl.
- Okay, here's a tough one.
What is the square root of nine?
(barks three times)
Yes, good girl.
- You understand her?
- How'd she know that?
(upbeat music)
- So if I was going to pick one item that was like
my biggest weakness, it would be this one.
Dog beds.
I don't even want to tell you how many dog beds we have
in our house, but you can never have too many.
One in every room.
The dog's gotta be comfortable.
They really prefer the donut beds, too.
The more circular, the better.
That was fun, I am gonna finish up now.
I just grabbed myself a pita from Pita Pit. So good.
And now I'm gonna head home.
Ken and Mack have a herding lesson, and whenever I'm home
on the weekends I try to go to them as much as possible.
So, I'm gonna get home,
hopefully get there in time to go go with them.
Maybe take Bee along and let her stare at the sheep.
It'll be good.
- We are on our way to Ken's herding lesson with Mr. Mack.
And Ken just came up with a pretty bright idea since
we were bringing Bee already.
- Yeah, I think we should split the herding lesson between
Bee-line and Mack. Or at least give Mack a break in between.
Maybe we can do an instincts test with Bee,
or at least put her on some sheep and see what she thinks.
- Yeah, I've taken her before and she's just sort of laid
with me and watched the sheep.
She seems interested in the sheep,
but she hasn't actually been let loose yet.
- Yeah, I --
- Hopefully Vicky will be into that.
(upbeat music)
- Mack gets a bit of a break and Bee-line gets
to experience some sheep or meet some sheep,
so this should be cool.
How do you think it's gonna go?
- The question is, how do you think it's gonna go?
- [Ken] I think it's gonna be good.
- He doesn't get it. You're the herding guy,
I don't know what I'm doing, so you're gonna have to do it.
- [Ken] Okay, well, I will go take Bee-line
for her first herding lesson.
- Except, I just want you to know
this doesn't mean that she gets to,
if she turns to, she goes out there and slays it,
cause she might, cause she's just awesome.
That she still has to be my number one.
- [Ken] Okay, well, we'll see. We'll see how she is,
we're looking forward to it.
- She probably isn't gonna slay it but
(wind noise drowns out speech).
(upbeat music)
- [Ken] Well that was pretty exciting.
- I was pretty impressed.
- [Ken] Yeah, I think she did a pretty great job.
At first you could tell she was a little unsure what,
what was she supposed to be doing,
but after a while she started flanking the sheep,
looked like she was having a lot of fun out there.
- She even ate a little bit of sheep poo.
- [Ken] Yeah, she did even eat a little bit of sheep poo.
Luckily, I will be able to bring her for
all of my lessons with Mack then.
- We'll have to see if we can
part ways for that long.
Although honestly, I think it would be good for her.
I like my dogs to be able to do lots of different things.
She just doesn't need to be a solely agility dog,
she needs to learn other things as well.
- [Ken] For sure.
- I think I could manage that.
- Bee-line had a pretty big day today.
Mack had lots of fun at his herding lesson.
Kayl got out to do some, check with the Ren's tent sale,
which looked pretty cool.
And I think Bee-line, may have a future as a herding dog.
You wouldn't know it right now,
because she's such a sooky little thing.
- [Kayl] I feel like she has a future in a couch potato.
- She could definitely be.
She'd be an expert snuggler if that were a job,
or some kind of task.
Maybe they require some kind of service animal
that just snuggles somebody all the time.
