Tina is learning to listen to the noise her collar makes
when she gets too close to the flags along the boundary line.
The trainer from Ridgefield Pet starts slowly with Tina and is very patient.
Tina gets her new collar and continues training.
Boundaries are very important.
Tina hears the noise from the collar and stays inside the yard.
All of our A Family Farm Labradors are trained on the
Pet Stop containment system, which keeps our Labs safe.
Tina gives positive feedback to her trainer from Ridgefield Pet.
She enjoyed her training today!
You did great Tina!
Tina is wearing her new collar now.
She is exhausted from all of her training today.
Tina will now be able to run around with the big dogs
instead of being walked on a leash.

When you have lots of rain, you have lots of wet dogs.
It is a lot of work, but the dogs sit still while Margaret dries them off.
We have a lot of “dog towels” for times like this.
Sometimes they actually “cut” the line to get wiped again!
We try to get one dog at a time, so Angie is waiting patiently outside.
Sally has the towel on. Tina is curious and Kayla on the right is already dried off.
Angie is soooooooo wet!!
Angie was the last one in so she was soaked!
Gracie checks on Angie while she is being dried off.

Tina is our latest addition to A Family Farm.
Her mom is Sammy Sweetheart. She was born September 3, 2013.
Tina follows Grandma Kayla Copacabana with Mike to see our veterinarian.
Dr. Cliff Heidinger checks Tina’s ears. They look great!
Let’s trim those nails.
Dr. Heidinger gave Tina her last puppy shot and she did not even flinch. So brave!
Tina likes her Vet Tech.
We like to microchip all of our dogs and hope
that more people do this for their dogs.
The microchip is registered to Tina’s name.
Each number is individual to each dog.
Now that Tina is finished Kayla gets on the scale
and gets a check up from Dr. Heidinger.
Kayla’s microchip still registers on this instrument.
She has had it since she was a puppy 9 years ago.
Time to go home!

Saturday, September 21, 2013.
We like to put colored necklaces on our pups after they are two weeks
so we can watch how they progress.
All of Sammy’s pups have been spoken for.
Ms. Yellow and Ms. Pink.
Ms. Orange, Ms. Purple and Mr. Blue.
Mr. Blue, Ms. Purple, Ms. Orange, Ms. Yellow, Ms. Turquoise,
