Got my lab, Daisy, back from Zack today.
|
|
She only stayed through force fetch but I am so happy with how she is retrieving to hand it isn't even funny. I really feel like she will be a good and useful companion during hunting season.
Today she retrieved 2 pigeons. On one she didn't go far enough on her initial mark, but she quartered her way out to it. She was a little too excited with us all being reunited today but she still did really well.
I took her to the park on the way home and with a lot of distractions she did her water retrieves perfectly for my wife and me both coming to a "heel,sit" and then delivering to hand on "drop". She even heeled without a lead past a big group of kids.
She is still a little rough around the edges, but that refinement is up to me to keep working with her.
This is my first lab and I am very excited about her potential and the progress she has made.

Don't have a GPS, but if you loan me your boat I'll take you back during the season.

How long did you have her there? I have a month of free training that I won at the DU banquet last year. I plan on sending my new pup to him sometime for at least that.

TreeBass,
Zack told me Maya was there but that was right as we were leaving and I did not go back in the kennel to see her.
