    I think (hope) we're just getting high winds tomorrow. Thursday is a (one of my) shooting days. Today has been simply beautiful. Light breezes and lovely Autumnal sunshine.

    One training thing

    This one's a bit controversial. Paw. We taught Belle to give her paw, and she became such a nuisance with it, begging. Well we all know now that it's not the best "trick" to teach. However, all dogs who come from the MSPCA seemed to be taught it while they are staying there. Coco and Meg both...

    Nail trimming

    I'm afraid I ran out of patience trying to desensitise my 2 (they were grown dogs, not pups), at the end of the day, their nails needed trimming. For me, it's been about finding the easiest approach and place to trim (I use clippers). We've settled on sitting in the back of the car boot, and I...

    Dummy

    ..yes, the clicker retrieve posted above. I am about to revisit this with Coco as he ALWAYS spits the dummy now (I did have a decent hand delivery with him, but ruined it somewhere along the line). Meg has not got that far yet.

    What made you smile today?

    Meg! Meg! Meg! This made me smile from ear to ear on Tuesday. I took Meg to Dog School on Tuesday and Coco and OH stayed at home. When we got there we were mustering outside the barn. She saw Billy's mum L, and did her little tappy feet dance** and happily accepted a pat, ear scritch and a...

    Clicker Retrieve.

    Meg is 9 years old, she is a ball fetch fanatic and loves a game of tug. I don't know why I've not done this earlier. Well I do, laziness. She's such a sharp cookie, and today's second session has her lifting the dummy clear from the floor. We are both buzzing after our short training sessions...

    Clicker Retrieve.

    We've moved to mouthing the dummy this morning. Meg was quite frustrated, she was sure all she had to do was shove/nose it, so a lot of shoving and barking, then just sitting, staring at me and barking. Then she grabbed it out of frustration and earned a click! ( I had to keep the dummy "alive"...
