Ayla, Waverly, and Winger got to try out UKC Shed Hunt today at Black Label Kennels! Winger picked it up right away, and Waverly got it pretty fast. Ayla enjoyed retrieving the sheds as long as I threw them for her, but she was hesitant to find and retrieve them when they were hidden. I bought shed supplies for training, so we will continue to work on it!

PC graduated from his Basic Companion obedience class tonight! He was a star pupil and got to choose a toy to take home at the end of class.

Ayla and Waverly started scent work class today! Both did super well, especially Ayla, who can struggle with new interior spaces. Once she realized the game was to search for hotdogs, she was a superstar! Waverly took to scent work right away. I see a bright future in this for both girls! Waverly Ayla

We went to a new training facility today to try out some group hunting lessons. Winger ran a couple of land singles with two false horizons (a first for him), as well as water doubles. We came away with a long list on skills to work on. Waverly impressed the head trainer with her willingness to pick up a bird without hesitation, but then decided to remind everyone that she's 7 months old and ran a few victory laps around us with the duck. We will need to work on her obedience
