Saturday In The Park

Thank goodness for Amanda.....she is able to rally us all together to do training. Today a bunch of us went to Henderson Lake to do some casual obedience work. The afternoon was perfect, the temperature was just right, & we had a super spot on the lawn away from most of the crowds, in the shade of some big trees!
I wasn't able to do much in the way of obedience however, it became very apparent that Kort needs alot more work in the focus department! Even Amanda & Kim gave it a try, not so easy huh guys! At least I know that I have to go out & do this more often in order to get Kort's focus back on me, instead of everything around him.
Wendy came out just to take pictures! We are so lucky to have her!
Even if he doesn't have focus, he's still my handsome baby boy! & I love him!......Here I am pleading my case with Kort..."if you just look at mommy, there will be a big reward!"These 3 pictures show how well I convinced Kort to focus on me!.....I had Perkins overnight so he came too, just to hang & visit!......This is Esmae, a young Aussie trying her best to distract Kort !......

Dogs are the best, aren't they!

LOL...I see Kort has your focus Jolene...he's got you looking in the same direction he is.

All kidding aside Jolene, We gotta love them!

LOL Yes that's true--he's got your focus! And yeah, that's Duffy too. Only way he looks at me is if I have food in my hand or he thinks there might be food. Kort is very grown-up looking--splendid looking fellow!
