Three of the 'Applewoods Team' showed up today to work, but the chance was offered to go work elsewhere so we jumped on it and away we went. There are several dogs, Cabot (the small black one) and Sugar (BIG yellow dog) who needed practice for entering the ring. Cabot is on a countdown for his next ring entry in less than 30 days...so new places to train is always a treat. Sugar isn't yet scheduled to enter the ring yet this year, but he will sometime late spring or mid-Summer. Caruso (the BIG black one) already has his 2nd AKC Obedience Title, a CDX (Companion Dog Excellent), but he came anyway and did some practice as well doing run thrus (a practice ring situation). Red (lying down in the background is Sugar's mother) also had a chance to do a Novice run-thru and practice her steadily increasing Retrieve skills
However, the most fun today was doing the scent discrimination work using articles. While Cabot, Caruso and Sugar are all at various stages with various amounts of articles...the training principles remain the same.
What a good time we 3 all had today. Where was everyone else? Playing hookey in the balmy spring weather:)
