Anna's Dark Angel "Abby"
Abby is my 8 year old rescue lab mix baby. My family and I adopted her from a local no-kill shelter called Paws Atlanta. Originally we went there in search of a Jack Russell, but in the end we just could resist the spazz of a lab going nuts in the cage whenever we passed by. I believe she chose us.... After bring her into our lives we we're in for a bit of a tough road. She was 5 maybe 6 months and a complete mess. She had had no previous training at all...zip, zero, nada.... She was especially horrible with door dashing and playing keep away. Thankfully our street had literally no cars driving on it except when someone in the neighborhood was leaving or coming back. Anyway she would head straight for the creek in our neighborhood and splash around having the time of her life(keeping a water loving lab away from water is nearly impossible) and then there was the house breaking issues... Of course these we're all unwanted behaviors
Eventually with my parents encouragement we got majority of her issues under control. The main issue still being her lack of recall skills, but with time we eventually got it under control and now she's an angel off leash.
We've been training in Agility together for about 4 years now and started competing in 2012. A well as agility we are dabbling in disc dog and will be starting dock diving and barn hunt this summer! She's an amazing dog and a great partner. I seriously couldn't imagine my life without this girl...
