Training Department Outing

Tuesday May 23rd – This morning we joined most of the training department in observing the progress of the first dogs being clicker trained at GDV. This is a concept they are exploring and everyone was curious to see how it is going. We must have been a sight for the public, two instructors working dogs with a pack of about 10 people following behind pointing, and talking animatedly. The dogs we observed are at about 20 workouts and they looked really good. The instructors are pleased with their progress and there was some fun discussion and brainstorming. Sue and I got to work a couple of them, which was great fun for us of course.
The rest of the day was cancelled due to instructor illness. This worked out well for Susan and I as we both have pretty bad colds and are feeling run down. It was good to have some recovery time. I hope this cold passes soon, I’m sick of feeling sick!
