A dog-training lesson on rally jumps, where our goofy Newfie Crokell bulldozes the board jump, strolls across the long jump, and walks right through the bar jump – chaos with a side of laughter.

Crokell’s Rally run.

A dog-training lesson on rally focus: Crokell ignores me on the first run, then locks on for the ‘Phyllis Cheese’ run – proof the right treat can tame a little chaos.

A dog-training lesson from our first AKC Rally class, where Crokell nails the 360 left turn – Tod calls it ‘dizzy’ – while lagging a little out of heel.

A dog-training lesson on ignoring distractions, as Crokell faces cones, poles, and bouncing tennis balls while working on stays, come, and the top five obedience commands.

A dog-training lesson as Crokell and I head back to class, working toward Trick Dog Titles – because even a goofy Newfie’s daily trick list needs a trainer’s corrections.

A dog-training lesson on AKC Novice Trick Dog tricks, as Crokell records catch, crawl, fetch, high five, twirl, and more – with Tod as camera crew in our chaotic casa.
