Hi Y’all,
Seems my Human has not been as diligent as she should have been with my daily instruction. So what that it is almost summer here and she has been busy fighting the battle with the weeds. She needs to spend more time practicing with me.
Sigh, seems like the time has come. I started responding incorrectly to signals that I’ve always known and responded correctly. A visit to my Chessie blog friends here. 2 Brown Dawgs does lots of hunting stuff. They do it for real and are really good. The Brown Dawgs have been doing a series on hunt tests. That’s how retrievers earn their hunting titles.
Of course my Human couldn’t keep her fingers
off the keyboard and mentioned that I was coming (recall) when she blew the whistle for a “stop look”. Some of the experienced people there said I needed to go back to kindergarten, so to speak.
Sigh.
So this weeks posts will show some of the highlights.
Great...now maybe I`ll learn something that »I can use!
ReplyDeleteI need to go back to school too! This home schooling doesn't seem to work as well....I'm just sayin'....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you will remember pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteDon't they know that Dog's just want to have fun?

Keep your head up Hawk...you'll perfect it in no time.
ReplyDeleteLove that last picture of you! You look like you're giving your human some serious back-talk!! Looking forward to your review. Us boys are pretty good, but Ruby can use some work. She kinda puts her paws over her ears and goes, "LALALA" when Mom's doing a recall. See ya tomorrow!!

Instruction? The only instruction Darby cares about are the ones that tell you how to get the treats out of the bag!
ReplyDeleteBaily and Mesa are way way out of practice!

What's with us, Browndog? Mom says the same thing about me. I've back-slid. I need to FOCUS. Well, at least we'll get lots of treats.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this week's posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to read about your instruction. I think it must be partly Spring fever because we have had to go back a bit with Thunder to go forward. Hawk is having issues with too much recall and Thunder is slow to recall...lol. Always something to train!
It's amazing how fast those skills can go downhill without practice, practice, practice. But, I'm sure that you'll remember really fast once you get back in the swing of things. You're such a smart dog, Hawk!
