People ask me all the time what it is like to work with dogs.  “It’s got to be challenging!” they say.  Sure, it can be, patience is key.  When I was asked to photograph four dogs though, I knew it would be nothing but FUN!  The dogs in this family are bonded and love to play!  Even better, they came in every size… small, medium, large and GIANT!  Oh, and that one was the puppy!  You’ll see…!

On Saturday, 4/14/12 there were six beautiful large dogs training in Basic Obedience, at Ohio Air Dogs in North Royalton Ohio.  They were such a unique, fun group!  Not only did they learn basic commands like, sit – stay, but I witnessed them jumping through hoops and practicing some basic agility moves!  What well rounded dogs they have become in their training!  This was week 6 of this class.  To enjoy all the images from this class or make print purchases of your dog, please visit my website and choose “Clients” from the menu bar.

Meet Jake!  Jake was so fluffy and adorable!  He is a Shepherd mix that has a smile to him!  I was so proud watching him learn his commands and try the obstacles.

Monday’s graduating class had some big players in it!  Bandit, the Sheltie was the not so timid little guy that wanted to play with the big boys!  Gino, the Italian named German Shepherd was showcasing his skills and Scout, the German Shorthaired Pointer was nothing but fun and rumble-tumble when it came down to playtime!  It was a whole lot of fun!  I am enjoying meeting all the families of Ohio Air Dogs!  Sharing a passion for dogs is one of the happiest things!  Meet the Puppy 1 graduating class of March 19, 2012.
