Could this be our next OTCH??
Though it has taken quite some time, by being patient and taking it slowly, I have finally convinced Robbie that the dumb bell is not “the most vile thing a dog could have in his mouth” ! He has progressed through the “hold” training and is finally retrieving! He is even taking the metal article and holding that pretty well now too. Next month, when we go to the Thanksgiving Cluster, I will have him fitted and order him his very own set of articles. My plan is to spend the winter months teaching Robbie to do the scent discrimination exercise. It is looking like Robbie may actually have a second career as an obedience dog….who would have guessed?
