What’s a movie everyone loves but you just… don’t get?

In case you missed it I posted a new podcast this week with Jerri Scherff (Sailor Jerri). We discussed online hate and the dog industry (and how Jerri is disrupting it). I really enjoyed this conversation. I don't agree with Jerri on everything (as you'll hear in the show) but she's such a cool person, I really like her approach and she has had an incredible life. You can find the podcast on all of the podcast apps by searching for Dog Talk with Nick Benger. Here's the Spotify link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7sHCi0ohFZ8kZ0DchqF2w3?si=8618fa5af6e641ab

Doing the whistle today. 3 Jack Russells. Take them out 1 at a time so I can get there total attention. Also doing the walking on the leash.

What’s the nerdiest thing you’re into that people don’t expect?

Kairo passed her Orange Bandana Tricks today, so I decided it was the perfect time to start a training diary. Orange is the 3rd level (after White and Yellow), and the goal is to complete 2 tricks from each section and 2 bonus tricks. Kairo submitted: 1) Fetch it close 2) Blow bubbles 3) Sustained chin rest 4) All 4 paws 5) Push ups 6) In/close 7) Look ahead 8) Reverse peekaboo 9) Anti/uncle 10) Around/about 11) Temptation alley 12) Send to a mat It’s interesting to see how our different sports feed into each other: - Obedience - fetch it close (retrieve), in/close (heel position), look ahead (start of a send away), send to a mat (send away), temptation alley (recall), and anti/uncle (pivots for left turns) - Pet Gundog - fetch it close (retrieve) and sustained chin rest (part of a retrieve) - Hoopers - push ups (warm up), look ahead (start position), and around/about (barrels)
