Today was a busy work day, followed by a conference call, then some work issues; so by the time I got out to train with Rob it was almost dark. It was also a chilly 38 degrees and kind of snow sleeting...so why not train dogs? I have said it before and I'll say it again, If you are going to hunt in it, you may as well train in it.
We headed out to the back field and threw triples for Ranger, doubles for Fred and some nice long singles for Hondo. We decided to stay on land for the majority of the training session because of the temperature, but at the end of the session we took Fred down to the pond for a short blind. This one was right on the water's edge with a good deal of lunging involved. Fred took a great line to it. On the way back, once he got a little too much "lunging" he started to get out; so I used Kevin's trick. I decided to stop him and then cast him back into the water. I didn't have high hopes; but it worked as you can see in today's video.
After the training session, I came back in and unpackaged my new Hawx Dog and Gun Control...I can hardly wait the three hours until it is charged up and ready to play with this weekend. Fred doesn't know it yet; but he's gonna love it!
