JT Elite Basketball Camp week #1

We had a great week at the Jason Thompson - JT Elite Basketball Camp in Sacramento! 

Battier was awesome and all the kids loved her. It was a great training environment for her and she was perfect as usual.

Coaches after camp! 

After camp we stayed with JT and friends at his house for the weekend. Battier absolutely had a great time right along with us! The first few days I didn't let her get in the pool, but yesterday JT said it was fine and Battier showed some of her awesome dock diving skills. Battier was awesome the whole weekend. I'm not sure I'll be able to raise another puppy as awesome as she is. 

Tennis Court Puppy Class

Last night we hosted tennis court puppy class for the GRC puppies! This is a great opportunity for off-leash training. It's important for CCI puppies to work without their capes and gentle leaders on. Off leash gives us an opportunity to work on recalls with a lot of distractions. The chain link fence is a great place to practice "Up". A lot of down-stays are practiced as well. The dogs all did a great job!

USA Track and Field Trials

Today we checked out the Shot Put Olympic Trials at the State Capitol! Such a cool location for this event! The athletes are impressive! Throwing a 12 lbs ball up to around 72 ft. 

Battier did really well with the crowds and sounds, not surprising she's awesome! 

Checking out the Dog Fest Sacramento park!

There was a Dog Fest Walk 'N Roll meeting tonight at the Johnson-Springview Park in Rocklin. This is the location we will be at for our Dog Fest! It's a beautiful, big park. A really cool thing they have is a "Special Needs" Dog park next to their other 2 dog parks, one for big dogs and one for small. The special needs park is for Service Dogs and Puppies in Training! Pretty cool! CCI dogs are not allowed in regular dog parks, but this special one is perfect for them to play in.

This is where our Dog Fest will take place! It's a huge park.
