I hope all of you are safe and healthy and staying home in those Corona virus times. As a doctor working in the emergency room and ambulance I know how scary such a situation can be. Please stay home and keep distance to each other to protect yourself and the weakest of our society. Staying…
05.10.2010 – the day I met Liv for the first time. I can remember how excited I was when I woke up that morning. The 5 hour train ride to Munich airport, the first cuddle, the car ride to the breeders home. Especially the car ride home, thanks to the smell of little Liv’s vomit…
Kairi and me are participating at Silvia Trkman’s puppyclass at the moment and I can tell already that every minute is worth it. Especially for someone like me who is working (more than) fulltime and in shifts are online classes essential. I am trying to train 5 min x 2 everyday and this can be…
We wish everyone a happy and healthy new year! So much happened in 2019 – hundreds of days with happy memories. Some days of success, some days I’d rather forget. And a few days that showed me that life can be brutal and unfair. When I think about the past year, I don’t want to…

Three years ago my little surprise was born. I wasn’t sure if I would have a puppy until this day, I remember it like yesterday. When Jan Egil showed her picture to our friends and said „This will be our new dog“. Tvitvi was my first small dog and my first Papillon. I fell in…
In general we read and discuss a lot how and when we should start Agility with our dogs. When it’s healthy to put that kind of pressure on a young dogs body. If you ask 50 persons about that topic I guess you will get 45 different answers. But shouldn’t we ask ourselves when and…
Jan Egil was going to be judging in Denmark two weeks after Halli would be old enough to compete, and my plan was longer to try if we can be ready for at least competing in jumping. We entered anyway both, agility and jumping. I took the chance to train the competition set-up and see…
We have officially started our agility winterbreak. My dogs get an agility-free periode of 4-6 weeks each year for regeneration. But that doesn’t mean too much laziness – we will focus on muscle building, balance- and coordinationtraining and condition. We visited Mari Westersund of atletiskhund.no in Froland yesterday and we will work together on a…
Happy 5 months, happiest little goofball in the world! Self control: We are still focusing a lot on self control and stays as this is the skill Livo is lacking the most haha. #traumatized Body awareness: I have introduced the first balance exercises to Kairi because I am convinced that it is never to early…
