When I got my second Labrador, this is exactly the sort of day I hoped for!
A big open field, two dogs enjoying themselves, and all the little bits we’ve worked on quietly coming together in the background.
Today Amyrlin and Tilly were taking turns retrieving the ball, holding their stays, waiting patiently, and mixing in some distance sends to Tilly’s mat too.
Nothing dramatic, just one of those lovely moments where you realise the small practice sessions add up.
Whatever you’re working on with your own dog, remember that even the wonky sessions count. Progress is rarely perfect, and it’s often easier to see when you stop for a moment and look back.
It might still be a work in progress — but there’s a good chance you’re a little further on today than you were yesterday.
