Lauren
has been an active member of the St. Johns County, DogGone Crazy 4-H Club since
2000. At 16, Lauren's been working with dogs in 4-H for more than half her
life. She has worked with several dogs over the years, including her
grandmother's dog and her cousin's dog, as well as four of her own. Last May,
Lauren adopted Daizy from an Australian Cattle Dog rescue group and soon
learned first hand the importance of socializing a puppy from a young age and
understanding the characteristics and temperament of a dog's breed. At five
months of age, Daizy had severe anxiety issues and fearful aggression toward
other dogs. After her first show late last year with Daizy dopey from
anti-anxiety medication, Lauren decided to keep Daizy drug free. With a year
and half of socializing, training (thanks to Sherrie Keshner) and lots of
patience, Lauren reports that Daizy is dealing well with most of her
issues.
Earlier this year Lauren adopted Flash, another ACD, from a
local rescue group in hopes of furthering Daizy's socialization and giving her
more opportunities for exercise. Lauren began socializing Flash immediately and
happily reports that he is well behaved and is a quick and eager learner.
Lauren entered Flash and Daizy in the St. Johns County 4-H Fun Dog Show in
October and they both did well. At the end of the show, Lauren was presented
with the Judges Award. Most recently, Lauren entered both dogs in the
Jacksonville Fair 4-H Dog Show and was pleased with their results. Lauren
enjoys getting very creative with the costume portion of every show and can't
wait to get Daizy and Flash on the agility field. Her next goal is for both
dogs to get their CGC designation. |
