Just a quick video of Rookie doing some working trials tracking. The track is an hour old, over some tricky terrain and has multiple corners for the first time! He handled it really well, clever boy.
His most prized, special "tracking-only" toy was at the end, and we broke it playing tugs :(
And here are a few pics from Rookie's latest date with his girlfriend Zennie (Crumpsbrook Magnolia):

| Zennie gets cross when Rookie talks to other dogs, so she waits to pounce on him! |

| Here she goes! |

| Followed by barking A LOT in his ear! |
 |
| More barking at poor Rookie! |

Lovely photos as always. Tracking looks good fun and a real challenge - and whoever held the camera did well to keep Rookie in the frame! A girlfriend too - life is sure good for Rookie. If I had a girlfriend like that she could bark 24/7 at me.
ReplyDeleteWow can't get over how well the tracking is going after only really just starting on this. Well done for all your hard work Jess it is clearly being paid off. Just love the boy.
ReplyDeleteWell since things have been a little hectic here we have still only had a single working trials lesson so I am really thrilled with how he's going.
ReplyDeleteTried starting him on jumps on my own and he can be so thick at times, his mum's agility skills seem to have escaped him as he just walked into the clear jump- pretty sure the pole touched his eyeballs and he didn't even flinch!!! So I'm waiting to do it properly.... Long jump was fine strangely.
Next lesson is thankfully booked and it should become more regular now.
Cooper, Rookie says don't get yourself tied down to one woman, it's not worth the earache! ;)
