 | Water Rescue
 |
| Elizabeth trains both Max and Zina in water rescue. Max
earned his water dog (WD) title in August, 1999. |
|
|
Don't worry, either Max or Zina will rescue you. |
| Agility
| Joe trains both Max and Zina in Agility. Max is ready to sign up for
matches,
and Zina is almost there. They train at Ebbtide Kennels.
In the agility trial
at the 1999 Newfoundland Club of American National Specialty in
Maryland,
Joe tripped over Max twice, and Zina left the ring. More training is
necessary.

|
| Obedience
| Joe trains both Max and Zina in obedience. Max earned his
AKC Companion Dog Title (CD) with his third qulaifying leg on
January 16, 1999. While earning his first leg, Max was the
highest scoring Newfoundland with a therapy dog title, and the
highest scoring Newfoundland in trial. Both have passed the CGC test.
They train at Ebbtide Kennels.

Joe is the primary partner of Max and Zina in
their work as therapy dogs. They make regular visits to group homes for developmentally
disabled, and have been frequent visitors to Camp Good Days and Special Times. They are
members of TheraPets, and are registered with both Therapy
Dogs International and The Delta
Society. Here, Joe and Zina are seen with other members of TheraPets at a fun visit to
a dorm at The State University of New York at Geneseo. |
