Another retrieve this time named articles, being very helpful Miss Winnie!
Here's the lovely Dill, helping his mum put the shopping away. He takes it from the bag does a parade to show his mum how clever he is then pops the shopping in the cupboard! Remember all these useful & challenging tricks all start with a retrieve to hand.
More on the simple 'retrieve' here is the lovely Winston helping with the washing! Well done Malcolm & Winston.
Here's Tully on the first stage of his retrieve journey, picking up a light, soft article. Carolyn is clearly using a 'no reward marker' to help Tully understand what she needs him to do. Well done Carolyn & Tully.
Another retrieve under the chair challenge! if you look he is retrieving a wooden egg cup, fits the unusual object challenge too! Well done Jim & Sid
Here's the lovely Winnie, retrieving a flat article, that's difficult for a dog to hold too. Well done Winnie

Here's Bramble, Tidying up for his mum!
A simple retrieve can turn into so many challenging & useful exercises, Monday night saw dogs retrieving into a box, retrieving books & shoes to owners, handlers who are preparing for operations sending dogs to retrieve items from tables, dogs being sent under chairs to retrieve items for handlers. The list goes on ...will be posting video's over the coming days.
A little bit of brain work for the lovely Eric today out in the sunshine, we worked on engagement, Scent work, then finished with a recall game, he was amazing!
A little bit of mantrailing while babysitting. Barney has got the game now! Hide & Seek with dogs!
Happy birthday Hetty 4 today! My little girl with big emotions.
Following on from the scentwork post, I decided to introduce Hetty to a car Search, she just did not understand why I wasn't just opening the door for her to jump in! A bit of generalisation with items she is already familiar with, some toy searches/pairing with odour & bingo the little girl got it!!
