Munster Happenings

Just thought I’d share some of the latest Rookie happenings and pics.

Seahaven's Celtic Commander

 He’s been in the obedience ring for a proper training round, where I let him off the lead and everything!!!! Obedience shows are a lot like the breed shows in terms of all of the other people and dogs around, and Rookie feels quite strongly that people and dogs need munster love, so it has been our biggest hurdle to ignore them both. He’s done really well, his heelwork is lovely, and he is such fun to work. The only thing left to check off the list is a retrieve in the ring, as he occasionally decides he needs to do a lap of honour with his dumbell before bringing it back! Next time hopefully.....

I’ve also attended my first working trial just to see how it all works. It was a brilliant day, and I know Rookie is going to love trials. He has started jumping, and can clear the 3ft clear jump, 9ft long jump and 6ft vertical scale without breaking a sweat! I’m working hard on trying to keep him searching for articles inside the search square, hard to get a nose that wants to hunt far and wide to focus its efforts on a small square, but slowly he is spending more time in the right area. 

In between that boring stuff he has been....

Being a big dork....

Looking after 'his' puppy.....

Secretly swimming in a lake that apparently they aren't allowed to... (oops)....

Walking on water......

And being a cuddly bear :) 

Hope everyone is well, and you've all had plenty of that shiny ball in the sky to get out and enjoy like we have :)
