Summer break is over. School is starting back up for our Retrievers getting tuned up for hunting season or in Ms Willows case getting ready for her Hunter Retriever Champion title.
This morning she knocked some dust off with a 165yrd blind with 1 whistle..
Champion title here we come...
On the back side of the hurricane now.
I moved the dogs back by the kennels to block the wind off the trailer.
Power is still on and AC in the trailer is working perfectly..
Hailey and I we're just talking about it being Izzy's last day, she goes home tomorrow and she almost completely refused to leave her kennel to go out for her training session.
Too funny!!
Ms. Izzy has done amazing in the last 4 weeks. She came here a very shy dog and wasn't use to other dogs at all.
Now she knows SIT, STAY, HERE and Walks at a HEEL all off leash. And absolutely loves playing with other dogs now..
Little Ms. Maggie is rocking right along in our basic obedience program. She's been here almost 3 weeks and is completely off leash and knows SIT, STAY, HERE and HEEL very well.
She love to retrieve and plays get with the dogs at the kennels.
Keep it up girl..

Mr Chip, our boykin spaniel is rocking and rolling through force fetch. We started on Monday with hold and look, Friday he's beating the pressure and reaching for the tool..
Keep it up little buddy!!
Ms. Willow's across the pond blind..
Mr. Miller running his 2nd ever Triple this morning. I decided catch if from the birds eye view with the drone. Wind is left to upper-right in the video, you can see the drag back of birds 3 scent catch Miller as he went for bird 1. Being its his 2nd time running these kind of marks I stopped him from go to the area of bird 3 and casted him back to bird 1.
He ran a great blind (no refusals) and was super steady on the walk-out.
Very nice dog I get the privilege of handling in tests..
Deke and Nelli puppies are growing fast..
Mr. Bull getting his turn. He'll be ready by hunting season for sure.
We are having a blast training this set of young dogs. I can't wait to see them in action this hunting season.
This is Ms. Willow she's out of the Deke and Nelli litter.
Ms. Willow is rocking and rolling through her training. 2 weeks on the force fetch table and look at what she learned..
Way to Willow!! On to bigger things...
Finally got Mr. Maverick's light switch to come on and he now understands what all the time on the force fetch table was about.
I can't wait to start pile work and casting drills with this guy.. He'll be one to watch for sure..
Mr. Gunner is finishing up his training to be a dove hunting fool..
He's been doing awesome and is ready to truly find out what all this training is preparing him for in the dove field..
I just noticed I haven't posted in a little while, we've been so busy trying to beat the heat each day, plus we have quite a few puppies in training that are keeping us on our toes.
If you haven't been by lately you will notice there are some new faces around the kennels. We were able to hire 2 young ladies (Roxy and Ady) to help with day to day operations and there even doin some training.
It's such a relief having them here doing the remedial tasks allowing me to spend more time doing hands on training with your dogs.
The video below is (Maverick) one of the many Deke puppies we have at the kennels right now. They're all doing awesome with training and absolutely love to get out and work.
Beautiful morning to get dogs ready for the weekend hunt test.
