Anyone who has worked with us, or attended an Unleashed workshop, has had the pleasure of meeting one of my assistants – most likely Brandy. She works tirelessly for me and usually with only a minimal amount of complaining and eye-rolling (particularly when it comes to moving furniture into the fields and streams).
Brandy works wonderfully with dogs and is able to grasp quickly what makes each subject tick.
When I started shooting at the farm, three seasons ago, I noticed this giant tree that spanned the creek. Each time I’d glance at it I’d remark, “I sure would like to get a dog out on that log.”
Enter Riley.
Riley is Brandy’s Piebald Mini-Dachshund. He has been doing agility for almost three years.
When Brandy decided the tree would be no match for Riley and his skills she set out to get him to “walk the log.”
So Sunday, after our morning shoot, we donned our wellies, crawled into the creek, (well at least I did) and Brandy worked Riley on the log.
He performed beautifully. Actually I think the log is about twice as wide as his normal agility ramp. But to this little dog he must have seemed 1000 feet in the air!
Nice job Riley. And it’s always good to take a few minutes and shoot some things just for fun!
I loved watching Brandy try to balance too!
