Rocket

Author: Taryn
June 4, 2009

Rocket is a very appropriately named Border Collie who enjoys agility & obedience training. He is a very sweet-natured dog and is always on the lookout for who has the tastiest treats so that he can give them lots of love. When training Rocket you have to be quick - he will do an exercise perfectly once, but if you ask him to do it again he will look at you as if to say: “I got it right the first time, why should I do it again?” Rocket has his Canine Good Citizen Certificate and was the most improved retriever in the advanced class last year.
