~Day Is Done ~

~ Day Is Done ~ The sun low on the western horizon casts a warming light on gun dog trainees REX, TRAD and MAC at the conclusion of today's training session. The lads hanging tongues speak volumes to the physical demands placed on these retrievers during a typical session. REX is a new trainee and has the least physically demanding session, that being focused on basic obedience training. TRAD was working land blind retrieves out to 200 yards. MAC was worked on lining drills, ladder drills, and long pile work. Don't let them fool ye as most of the physicality is self imposed due to the intense drive that is hardwired into their DNA. The day ended with some patience development training whereby they are required to SIT quietly and without extraneous movement, a very pertinent skill for any dog that hunts waterfowl. At their post on a training table, the trio will remain there until given a release command. It appears that rehydration will be the first order of business. GOOOD DAWWWWGS. ! 👍

Cheers,
