Piper  moved out.

We knew the whole time that Piper was going to another home. Her new owners are providing a perfect environment with multiple dog friends, fortunately for her and us. And what for an environment! She lives between all kinds of other sled dogs. Exactly what we’ve wished for her, a perfect team with good dogs, where she will fit in well. Canis Polaris  has a great future lead dog as new addition.

The DASSC organized a cart race on the Outdoor Valley terrain last weekend. The organization turned made it a good race despite the rain.  The musher evening was very nice and the ambiance was very relaxed.

The first cart race is over. This year the forests around Grolloo set the stage for the ninth time for the howling and for the spectators to see and experience a beautiful spectacle from nearby. It’s very nice that the dogs can stay in this environment full of forest. The trail was completely different than the years before and that together with the lack of puddles.

 

Grolloo was a nice experience for us. The pups could walk freely around, which brought us a lot of joy.

Sometimes you're looking for an answer that stand close to you or a confirmation or supplement on the opinion you use. Concerning our dogs we never focus on the trainability but on the bond between the dogs and us. Today we came a lot further with our quest on how to communicate better with our dogs.

Kacey Cover is a American animal trainer, who has years of experience with dolphins en sea lions.

She focuses on the communication with the animal in stead of the training. One of her students is the Dutch

Erica Bokelmann and through her we’ve met the founder of the SATS communication technique. We were impressed and it was full of recognition of the fact that training isn’t the most important but communication is.

The Lastingrun kennel wants to thank Kacey and Erika for their patients and enthusiasm and their knowledge which will be used by us for sure.
