Why Come To  Camp?

In this post, I’d like to introduce you to Anette, she’s been coming to Camp Doggin’ It with her dog, Lexie, since 2013.  In 2014, Blue joined in the fun.  Some would say that Anette and Blue were a “meant to be” team.  You see, Anette went to Lotsa Dogs Rescue to adopt a completely different dog but when she saw Blue, she instantly fell in love and the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

So what’s so special about their “history”?  Well, last fall, they entered their first Rally Obedience trail, they did one run and scored enough points for a qualifying score.  Those who trial, know how elusive the Q can be.  This is even more impressive as they have never actually taken a Rally class.  All their training came from taking Rally at Camp Doggin’ It with Nancy Trus.  Anette chose Rally as one of the camp training tracks because it’s a good sport for somewhat reactive dogs (only one dog and handler team is in the ring at a time, dogs are a little less energy than some other sports).  She was inspired to trial after she won High In Match at the Rally Fun Match held at camp.
​
Now, not all campers will enter a trial and Q after a weekend at Camp Doggin’ It but I’ve always believed that every dog and handler deserve the best instruction and that learning should be fun.  After all, you may be coming to camp with your family pet but you may be leaving with a canine athlete!​

More Pyramid Treats!

In a previous blog post, I introduced you to the benefits of pyramid tray.  I have to say that since I started using it, pyramid treats are my new go to rewards.   They are the perfect size, they don't crumble and my dogs find them super tasty!  ​

The latest recipe I have tried is one for chicken treats.  They are even better and easier to make than the
Tuna treats. Twizzler has a sensitive tummy - these chicken treats don't upset his natural balance.  Give them a try and let me know how well they work for you and your dog(s).

Pyramid Chicken Treat Recipe
1 - 10 oz can of chicken with water
​2 eggs
​1 c tapioca flour (note: this is also called tapioca starch)
​1/2 c all purpose flour
​1 tbsp oil

​Put all ingredients including the water in a blender or mixer (I actually use a wand blender for the chicken then put all ingredients in a bowl and mix by hand.  I find clean up much easier this way.)  Blend until smooth.  Use a spatula to spread the batter on the pyramid pan.  Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.  Let cool.  Turn tray over to roll the treats out. Treats will be soft so it's best to store them in the freezer in an air tight container - they are small so defrost in no​ time at all!
