When you’re not ready for training to be done for the day 😂
It’s the small wins in this game. Saint came to us as a 6 month old but wasn’t a very confident puppy. Obedience went well and when it came time to begin F.F. We quickly realized he lacked the mental maturity to handle it. His owner and I agreed that instead of ram rodding him through it and killing his attitude, we would send him home and let him grow up a bit. Well he is back and he is a different dog. Toe pinch went great, and tonight was the first night of Collar Fetch. Tail was wagging, his little head Bob he does when he is excited is back, and he is now off to the races.
Classic case of you got to be patient, these dogs aren’t cookie cutter, and sometimes they mentally aren’t ready.
Being able to utilize our taxpayer dollars at night has its benefits as we enter the hot months. Every young dog that has come through the kennel has had their blind running foundation built on this field under the lights.
Dyson owned by @Bernard Terry working through pike work and about to begin T drill will get a lot of reps in the cooler late night temps over the next few weeks.

First mark in 4 months after being kennel confined for a broken leg. She missed a step. Penny’s road back is well under way.
Leo owned by Ed Apple working through No-No drills. This young British Hammer should be wrapping up his Seasoned title at the end of this month and then it’s all Summer to get ready for Finished. He’s already running to a low level Finished level but when you over prepare you test easy.
Dyson has begun Mini T (3 handed casting) and is rolling right along. Wont be too long before we are on to pile work and then full T pattern.
