Trained in the barn at my place last night for a change. Was great not having to drive an hour each way to train..
First we have Smooch, my female AB. Her targetting and grips could definitely be better here BUT she showed GREAT improvement with her barking, which has never been her strongest point. Always seemed to have a hard time mustering up a bark and even more of a hard time putting a few together. She shocked me last night. I hope this is a sign of things to come. She is giving me hope with this exercise! One thing at a time I guess...patience, patience,patience

Second is my male, AB, Rosco...he has the opposite problem as Smooch. He won't shut up!! After many unsuccesful attempts at quieting him in the down during protection we decided to try something else...just let him lie there barking his brains out...lol. Thats why he is panting and looks so tired! His quiet down is rewarded by being able to guard the helper and then a bite. It seemed like we were waiting for him to shut up forever! Thick as a brick I say! :banghead: :banghead: and such a dink
