    I took Sam to the woods and river this afternoon with his Dummy and so proud, he overcame his cautiousness of water and did a really lovely retrieve from the water , first one ever :)
    I did get him really enthusiastic first , lots of work and so he was well fired up and ready for anything when I threw the dummy right over the river to a small island . Not a seconds hesitation, bless him , only a small step in the grand scheme of things but the end result was a really proud and happy dog and an equally proud and happy me :)

    Hey! Well done Sam and you. it's truly uplifting when they do something you know needs them to screw up their courage. All down to your training I think.

    Oh, well done both. :) :) (one :) each)
    I can't keep Maia out of the water but Hebe hates getting out of her depth, lots more encouragement obviously needed.
