Tara's first Master Tunnel Sept. 24, 2011 at Small Dog Bonanza
Training for go-to-ground
Going in the tunnel
Tara loves the Go to Ground events and the most difficult part is trying to pry her off the wooden dowels; she frequently chews through them in the 60-90 seconds that she has to alert on the rat
