Earthdog Backyard Fun
I love teaching our Cairn Terriers new things. They love learning and most of the time what I teach them isn't hard. The Cairn Terrier breed is smart, agile, and full of energy. They thrive on learning new things or they get bored. My next project will be a fun one, and I'd like to take you along with me while I teach them. I'm calling this project "Earthdog Backyard Fun" and the concept is based on the dog sport, Earthdog Testing.

Earthdog Testing is the concept of teaching your Cairn or other terrier to go through a tunnel in record time chasing a rat. Well, I don't intend to make it a timed event nor use actual rats. What I want to do is convert a small section of our backyard into an Earthdog tunneled play area.
First though, I need to come up with enough money to fence in a larger part of our backyard. Each year we add more chain link fence to our backyard as we can afford it. Once the area is large enough to accommodate an eliminate area, play area for their sandbox, home agility training, and other activities we do, plus the Earthdog area, I'll take you along with me on how I built the area and how I train Molly and Jack, our two Cairn Terriers.
I have no doubt they will learn quickly and it will be great fun for them in the process. We will all learn something new and have fun doing it. Keep your eye on this article for more information on when that day comes. Or better yet, subscribe to my newsletter (email or US mail) where I'll be sure to announce it.
