Kali's first day in the field and she did so well! She could barely =

hold her
stay and started barking, barking, barking! She really wanted to go =

after
the bumpers.

The woman who's helping me has a dummy launcher and we did single =

retrieves
in very high, 3', grass. The first one Kali ran right out and got it =

and
brought it directly back. The second one she did just as well.

My trainer said lets try something and we pitched the dummy so that =

Kali had
to cross a flattened out driving lane in the middle of the meadow.
Apparently this is a little harder as newbie dogs are reluctant to =

cross the
road. Kali came to the road and turned around and went back into the =

field
and held her head high airscenting!! I've never seen her use her nose =

other
than to sniff out neighboring cook-outs. She followed her nose across =

the
road, took a quick poopy break, immediately went back to work and =

sniffed
it out! I was so proud of her--she did it w/no assistance.

The trainer gave me a ton of homework to do to get her used to going =

farther
and farther distances to get the bumpers and more whistle work. At =

home she
picked up the sit at one blast quickly but was so over excited that =

she
didn't listen in the field--the training will come but right now I'm =

so
happy that she's absolutely nuts about chasing down bumpers.

Go Kali girl!
