I never expected to get involved with titling Willow. I looked at her more as just a companion to have around me. However, I realized that I could have such a closer relationship with her by training and working towards these goals of titling! And more than that, it allows me to leave a legacy of all her accomplishments once she is no longer with me, years and years from now. I will be able to look back and remember all of the times we spent together working on tricks, or training for sports.
​
Although I’m reaching near the end of what I am wanting to get from her in terms of tricks, we have started into the world of AKC Scent Work. We attended our first Scent Work trial on Mother’s day, where Willow earned her first Q in containers and even took 2nd place in her group for her run! I have also started taking her to herding lessons to see if that would be something she could participate in moving forward. She is so smart, but also pretty cautious in new situations and doing new things, which also helps remind me to take things at her pace, not my own and I am so thankful for her every day and look forward to what she will accomplish in the future!
