Fetch!

Sorry for the lack of updates!! This one will be mostly pictures. Let's see if I can sum things up a little bit. Bear is getting bigger (45 pounds?) and is completely house and crate trained. His obedience is ok better inside than outside but best when food is involved lol.

He likes to relax on the bed with us and continues to be SO dern CUTE!

I started teaching fetch outside more frequently and also in thicker cover. He loves jumping into bushes and uses his nose to find the bumper if he didn't see it fall.

As far as training is concerned problems would be: slow to respond to sit and come especially outside, distractions make training go out the door, sometimes fails to bring bumper back and when at eye level he sometimes wants to wrestle. We're workin on it!



Here we are kayaking for the first time on the Rahwey River. It was harder to steer a kayak than i expected...if there were Kayak police we would have been pulled over for drunk driving! We were all over and i don't think we ever did get it figured out.


We took Bear to Assunpink WMA for some water training. He always has a great time! Here he's going after the bumper.


He got it, here he comes!


Bear found a friend there, who promptly played keep away from him! They had a blast chasing each other, he was exhausted and slept the whole way home!


HAHA Bear in mid air going after a bumper in the bushes.


He found it!



After a long day of romping around Bear loves to snuggle hehe.
