National Dog Day. Piper on the left and Ice on the right.
A bit chilly to work outside today.
This is Stella, a 10 month old GSP during her second time out in the field. The wind was helpful for her to experience success. A few more things to work on to be a great hunting companion.
It is a beautiful thing to see a hunting breed work and make progress.
Tarps, leaves, balls, and a Lab. Nothing but fun.
After the training: The Reality.
Piper would do this all night long. She has figured out that she needs to "toss" the ball to me for the game to continue.
Here is a short video of Midnight taking the next step with his "Leave it" command. This was his third attempt at this difficulty level. Great job!!
Lexi's post walk swim. Every time.
Ice and Piper supporting Lexi in her rehab.
Some of the physical therapy that Lexi is doing to build her strength.
Almost five weeks post-op. Lexi's second physical therapy appointment showed great progress. Next week she will move to two sessions a week. This session was 10 minutes in the tank and Wednesday will be 15 minutes. She is able to step over small objects and walk in a figure eight which helps the leg movement. Very little limping and her muscle mass is returning . We are very excited about her progress.
23 days post op. and Lexi's first physical therapy appointment went quite well. We have a few daily exercises to do at home as well as the range of motion work to do. She is progressing nicely.
