Training this morning was cut short for Tweed after he picked up a cut paw following just two retrieves, so we decided to give Bert a chance to join in with a bigger group.
I was really pleased with how he handled it. He stayed calm and settled while the other dogs were working β he even laid down and relaxed! π
We had some marks off the launchers at distances further than Bert has ever experienced before, and he really surprised me with just how far he was able to mark.
We also tackled some tricky blinds. There was a little bit of monkey see, monkey do at times, but that's all part of his learning at this stage!
Most importantly, Bert is definitely growing in confidence, and it's great to see him starting to take on new challenges.
Really looking forward to progressing him further with his training. πΎ
