Light Bulb Going On

There is a point in training Bouv's when the light bulb goes on, usually about 1 year, well it has happened with Espy, at 15 months, with one minor wrinkle.  In early training we were taught to use a non-verbal foot stomp to mean "Heal-Up" (sit at left knee, ready to heel).  Well, Espy has gone through his training doing things, after debated by the executive committee (bouv time).

Now request (commands) followed by a foot stomp are executed immediately.

I lifted my leg today!

I am on my way to adulthood, at 15 months I finally raised my leg on this morning's walk downtown.

Agility Training at the Dog Park

I got Blue's Frisbee!

Blue doesn't loose his Frisbee often, but today I got it away from him.  Life at the dog park is always fun.

Had fun at the Dog Park

Got to run with Cooper (Boxer) this afternoon, for about an hour.  Meanwhile my pal Blitz (American Short Hair Cat) was busy hunting bugs in the back yard.  Time for a nap after dinner.

Mom and Dad have banished me to one of those awful places called a boarding kennel.
