A snapshot of our training with Tom last weekend.

 

I like the part when both of you guys are walking toward the dude, varying in pace.

when you guys go Fast/slow, Kodak’s brain is like “IMGONNAGETYOUIMGONNAGETYOU,imgonnagetyou,IMGONNAGETYOUIGOTYOU” I love him

 

You remind me a lot of me as a handler. A lot of people are overly demonstrative, loud, over exaggerating. Dogs don't need that... Or maybe good dogs don't need that. I've never understood screaming commands at a dog. They can hear a mouse fart at 100m.

I think that remaining calm leads to a clear headed dog. I'm only as excited as the dog needs me to me.

You guys look great. Definitely a team. I like the sharp platz at the hide. It brings his focus to you and offers a chance to correct the dog for losing his mind because he knows where the decoy is and his focus is in the wrong place.

Same deal with the variation in speed. Pay attention dog, and he does. You guys look great.

 

awesome work. awesome dog. he looks so focused and in great control of himself. this has me wondering, does Kodak like to play like a pet dog might, or is this what he does for "fun"?

 

While you won’t see him going up to strangers or strange dogs looking for attention, he does enjoy just about anything you’d think a typical pet dog would. He spends a lot of his day trying to coerce me, bear, or Cion into playing. Of course he absolutely loves working. Other than an issue that we have to work through.

 

Kodak while glued to you.. “can I bite him yet, can I bite him yet”

 

Thanks to David I will now think of Kodak and mouse farts together.

In all seriousness though he looks great and beyond that I am not qualified to opine. Good work!!!

Thank you.

 

Wonderful news!! Two big successes in one weekend!

 

Yup. It was a good feeling at the end of it all. Thank you.

 

How great is that. Congratulations on all the hard work you two have put in!

 

Thank you. It’s always a good feeling when it pays off.

 

Very, very cool!

 

Thank you.

 

 

Great news! Congratulations. Great team if you ask me.

 

Thank you. I like to think so too, as unproven as we are.

 

I showed both dogs at the New England regionals this year. Cion had a 91, 84, 80 for his 6th 3 in total. Kodak had an 83,81, 84 for his first 3. 255 for Cion in total and 248 for Kodak.

 

Super!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!

Thank you. It’s been tiring preparing two dogs. I’ll be happy for our winter hibernation.

 

 

Wow! Great job! And such nasty weather to perform in!

 

 

Congratulations! I love seeing good news these days! I hope it’s fun preparing Kodak. He looks like a whirlwind of fun, anger and fur 😆 Beer and steaks all around?

 

Thank you !! Wings and beer but close enough😂😂

 

For me it’s the jumpy hops while heeling…cracked me up he’s got so much personality

 

I was talking to Tom who owned his sire. So many similarities. He laughed about barking at the dumbbells.

 

Perfect weather too ....
Congrats!

 

I know. Just my luck we’ll get snow in November.
