LIBBY
LABRADOR

Libby, my 8 year old Labrador loves to be loved and loves back unconditionally. We tried in Obedience trials and Tracking; she wasn’t interested. I wanted to spend one on one time with her, as Brigit my younger Lab. was taking up most of my one on one time. A friend suggested “tricks” with Libby so we fronted up on Thursday nights this year, then the fun began. Neither of us had a clue as to the procedures but with the help of Margaret and other members of the group we are slowly learning.

As the tricks are food orientated, Libby is in her glory. As well as receiving food rewards for tricks performed, she scours the floor for any titbits that may have dropped accidentally. She just loves it and has so much fun; the tail wags non stop and she is so happy to be performing and rewarded. It is also giving me quality time with her and it is Brigit’s turn now to wait in the car.
