Vet, free running, and tiger being tiger 🐅

The boys have been all hot and bothered 🥵 because of tea being in heat it’s nice to see them run some of that steam out

Got tanks s***m analysis back and everything is gravy there 💪🏽 ..My vet truly cares about my kennels health long term and always makes good recommendations.

Field dogs are done ✅

Force fetch dogs are up next this morning.

If Blue 💙was gonna break, today would have been the day. Loose quail got up slow, landed 10ft from us, and fluttered at the edge of the corn like they hit the wall of china 🤦🏽‍♂️… he nor his body language didn’t even think to break! 👏🏽

Continued work along with his conditioning should have him in top condition for his Montana trial early September.

The previous two days with tank was extremely rough. The type of days that makes or breaks a trainer. Thankfully he finally gave way today!

Im excited and wanted to share this video. I failed on remembering to zoom out 🤦🏽‍♂️

I added in a little more food motivation and lighter pressure before I started recording. He was willing to go just off the command alone and he was happy to please this go around.

You can tell by his body language he was ready to get that bumper!

I will see what tomorrow brings 😃

Science confirms what dog lovers have always felt. In a groundbreaking fMRI study led by Emory University neuroscientist Gregory Berns—reported in National Geographic and Nature Scientific Reports—researchers found that when dogs smell their owner, the caudate nucleus, the brain’s center for joy, reward, and affection, lights up far more than when smelling food or other dogs. This means your scent isn’t just familiar to them—it triggers a powerful emotional response, a biological signature of love and bonding. It’s neuroscience proving that to your dog, you’re not just a caretaker—you’re family.

It’s taken me some time but blue went from busting on birds to being steady.

Both dogs had great days even in this heat! 🥵

Tiger is back for a little late summer tuneup before he trials again in September. He’s acts like he misses me the way he burrowed up under my arm lol

Skips made himself right at home 🏡 he’s a good dog, he deserves it! Nothing a little vacuum action can’t fix lol
