Kate Abbott said good-bye to Walter in 2020, at the age of 16. A Cocker mix, Walter was, ummm, infamous for throwing the longest temper tantrum in Kindred Spirits history. All because Kate was training with her other dog and four month old Walter was jealous. Fortunately, his drive was channeled into more constructive ways and he was a wonderful trick training dog with more than 100 tricks in his repertoire. He was also a certified therapy dog who enjoyed running agility and lure coursing. His daily obsession, however, was playing with his Planet Dog red ball.
Kate Abbott’s Qwill, is an eleven year old Jack Russell Terrier. Having a terrier was a new training challenge for Kate; especially teaching Qwill a reliable ‘come.’ Qwill is a therapy dog with Love on a Leash and he enjoys visiting the local nursing homes. He also does demonstrations in class; especially when students don’t believe terriers can learn obedience skills.
