Today was day 10 of ff. We had a couple of refusals in mid session but corrections worked. This was day 2 of stick fetch and it is all I will probably do. He took it pretty well. Tomorrow I will start introducing some restraint in the lunge. Then dokkens and other style bumpers. Note the cord is just around his ankle now and not around his toes. This is part of my normal progression.
I entered the wrong day in my video file 7/20 instead of 7/18.

Howard's infamous day 10 showed up on day 11 and we forced our way through it. Day 12 went fine and now we have moved on to teaching three handed casting. Shiner has really good eye contact. Except the one time where he can hear my wife yelling at one of the dogs inside the house. Surely it wasn't Rowdy.

My son came out to train with me today and ran his dog Shiner. Perfect marks with hand delivery at heel. I should have videoed his work. We elected to keep it short an stay in the shade.

Shiner went to Snake Avoidance Clinic this morning. Two rattlesnake on ground. Mouths taped or sutured. At very end trainer brings out a copperhead in a cage.

Shiner's dad came out to train on Saturday. I am about ready to take the short lead off as he is loose lead steady.

Lead is history. Steady to shot. Have to get some flyers now.
I'm the one that is not steady. I use white stickmen for a while and later switch over to hunt test setups.

This morning we went to train with my pro friend JC at CCR. It was Shiners first experience with bird boys and lots of other dogs. We spent lots of time in the holding blind and going to and from the line. He was also on stake out a lot after his work. Things went very well. I was very pleased. I didn't get any videos but a couple of pictures.
P.S. How do you get the photos to be portrait rather than landscape (sideways)?

Shiner is doing great in establishing the T baseline. In my one deviation from Lardy I only do single T. This was Shiners third day but it had been three days since our last session. So I started close and quickly moved back to the starting point. When I first reached the starting point I moved forward to about 25 yards and forced on remote back etc. What you see in the video is the end of the force.
Total session was 16 minutes.

Shiner didn't know what was going on with the walkup. He'll catch on soon enough. Ground speed on miniT slowed down when we got into some ground spurs. It'll pick back up on Thursday when I train again.

Shiner’sDaddy trained with us today. Shiner is doing disciplined casting on T. One more session and we’ll move on.

Swimby lesson 1, line to pile. He had a slight curve to the left. From the way I threw the first dummy to identify the pile. I used my stool to straighten out the line. The pond is really low. We need rain.
