Today after working Lena I wanted to work Z on some retrieves. I don’t know about my little retriever dog. Some times she does great while other times not so good. 😊 But I am seeing tiny bits of progress. On the last retrieve I threw it a bit too far. Oops. She started out good, seen she was heading for a big scary rock 😱, turned to me in hesitation, I didn’t want her to fail so I took a few steps to let her know she was ok and doing what she was supposed to. She did manage to go get it and bring it back so huge success. Overall from where we started just 14 short weeks ago, I’m pretty impressed.
We have worked hard all week and have made small bits of progress. We are finally getting some distance.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome! You are both doing so great!!! I love watching Zoey fetch. She has gained so much confidence. And, hey, in her defense, that rock is pretty scary 🤣
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. Watching you and Molly doing retrieves is what I am aiming for. Maybe one of these months we can achieve that.
DeleteTrina, wow! She is doing SO WELL! You have been so consistent about working through all her hesitation and she has benefited so much from it! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kat. You are awesome and such a great cheerleader for me.

ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, Trina! Go, Zoey, Go👟🩰(cheerleading shoes, Zoey size)
