Shirley's Retrieve

[ClantyreSheltie]

I started this method of retrieving with Evie this evening. She thinks it's quite the fun game. She is still in Novice classes, but I wanted to get a jump on the training. I did this method once before, and it worked well, so here we go again!

That was interesting. I taught Diva and Ember with a similar method. With Ember I just didn't use a clicker with Diva I did.

Justice was similar to CHe. I held it up he took it and I threw and he got it. Not all dogs are so easy. Ask Ember.
