Small successes

As my Brittany gets older, now just under five months old, it's amazing the things she's picking up on.

"Kennel"

"Stay"

"Here"

"Fetch"

"Settle" (I use this to calm her down while I hold my hand palm flat towards her.)

...And other little things that let me know she's getting ready for some good times at training.

I think she has me responding well to her training efforts

Good for you! It's those moments that makes it all fun!

Now, you need "what the hel# is the matter with you" and "for God's sake you moron". You'll use these down the road.

And the latest... "just wait 'til I get the e-collar!"

But seriously, it makes having a bird dog even more rewarding when you can see marked progress. There's hope for me yet, I guess.
