Our Weekend With Monty

Well, our first weekend with Monty is coming to an end. It was very busy for us! Monty was a good boy, and he and Sam got along fine, but he has some holes in his educations that desperately need filling! He is a good boy in the house, and while on a leash, but once you take the leash off of him in the back yard he gets a little crazy and in a lot of trouble!

We didn't get many pictures taken due to our camera not cooperating. I finally dug out my Canon this morning, and we took some pictures of Sam and Monty practicing Agility. Here I am setting up the equipment.


First up was Sam. After several contract negotiations a quick pep talk, he leapt the jump like a pro!




He jumped the jump several times, and then tackled the weavepoles! He sailed through these with no problems!


Monty took more convincing. He was sure these were obstacles that he was not able to scale! Out came the treat bag!

Here I come!


Sit, please, boys! Monty is a little behind when it comes to basic obedience. We are working on his sits, stays, downs, and come every chance we get! Sam is showing him the proper way to sit.


Here are Sam and I giving him a pep talk before he attempts the jump...

You can do it, kid. Just give it your best try! It will make them happy!


We started with the bars set at an angle so that he could jump just a few inches and worked our way up. Here is Monty finally jumping the lowest setting on the jump! Go Monty!


Sam had to jump the jump one last time before we called it a day...


We also had to throw in these great "Fabio" shots of Sam and Monty. Aren't they a pair of heartthrobs?
