10-31-22 Lesson 5 Day 2

Testing on 12" retrieves. No issue, no EC Intro to 12" retrieves against an object. Ruth struggles with this concept. Several EC's I shorten the distance and make it easier for her to understand and succeed. Intro to 12 retrieves several hours later. Ruth is grasping the concept. No EC's.

Lesson 5 Fall RC

 I watched the lesson 5 videos then took Molly to a park in Burbank near my son’s house. There were quite a few dogs going for walks and squirrels in the trees. Fascinating to Molly, disease carriers to me 😂 

Anyway, this is how it went. 

Lesson 5 is uploaded.

Week 5 high distractions

Week 4 Exam, Mary & Molly

We’re in California this weekend. It’s been a rush fitting in visits with family. Molly spent some time with my mom who had a stroke several weeks ago. It was sweet to see them together.

Then we met up with Mike’s family to go for a walk in the Redwoods. Yes, there is a redwood forest in SoCal at Carbon Canyon park in Brea. It’s amazing!

Then a late lunch at Lazy Dog Cafe. The dogs were a bit tired. 

We finally landed at our son’s house in Burbank this evening. We’re exhausted! Anyway, I wanted to get a test posted so we just did it in their backyard. Their new little puppy, Rosie, was quite the distraction as well as my granddaughter, Stella. Molly loves Stella and wanted to play with her and Rosie but it was work time!

This is Molly and Rosie at the end of the day.

We’re ready to crash, too.
