Denali and I have been a team since June 1, 2003. This partnership has not always been a smooth one. But in 2006 we signed up for some Obedience and Rally classes and further strengthened our bond. On August 29, I decided to put that training to the test. I had been doing odds and ends in the yard that morning and had Denali accompanying me - much to his disdain. He has been rather obsessed with whatever is on the other side of the gate, and I decided that today was going to be a good day for training.
So I put him in a sit-stay. He kept getting up when I would walk away. After a few stern words, he finally got the idea that he was supposed to sit in this one spot and Stay. He sat there a good five minutes as I finnished my morning chores. What better way to reward your Best Bud for a job well done then to have their picture taken. I have this one and several others. I am so proud of Denali - he resisted Brutus' running around like a crazy dog, and Storm and his nervous Nellie, constant dancing around.
