Our dogs are our partners.

    7 (Seven)

7 joined our family from a Humane Society shelter. He gets his name from cage #7 where he was when he met Turk.  He is a Flat coated retriever mix, and we are not sure about his age. He claims he is about 3 for the past 3 years.

He loves being outdoors and in the water whenever possible, as long as it’s not for bathing. He enjoys catching our Off Leash frisbees and chasing a ball whenever possible.  Whenever he is not out doing demos with Turk, you can see him hanging out with his brother Djembe and sister Zilli.

    Djembe

Djembe is our 6 y/o Rhodesian Ridgeback.  It was his idea that Turk become a dog trainer.  Although he does not actively train dogs with Turk, you can see him come to Group Hikes and/or working with Turk when he’s training “strong” large breed dogs.

Djembe has his own blog and he has been a contributor writer for other dog training related blogs/newsletters.  You can follow his adventures on:

Adventures of Djembe.

    Zilli

Zilli comes to us from the Carolina Vizsla Rescue. As an only girl in the pack she enjoys special privileges like being the only dog allowed on furniture.  Although she loves chasing 7 whenever he is playing Frisbee,  she usually favors playing with female dogs, and will simply ignore most male dogs.

She can find a crumb of food in a 100 acres property with incredible accuracy, and can consume 30lbs of food (if allowed) in a single siting.
