We finally had our long-awaited reunion with Freighter. Darrin, his trainer, is doing a great job with Freighter’s field training. He sure has come along way in three weeks. However, our sweet little puppy has turned into a training maniac. We watched Freighter run a few marks (more on that tomorrow). After he was done for the day, we took him out for a visit. Did he even care or was he more preoccupied with his trainer and the marks he was throwing for another dog? You decide.
Tomorrow some pictures of Freighter, Thunder and Storm’s work.
This is a Blog Hop. Thanks to Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, Luna, a Dog’s Life, and My Brown Newfies for setting up this hop. Please go to any of the sponsoring blogs to find out who else has been mischievous.
OMG! This sure had me laughing! The look on Freighter’s face! Oh that must have been such a heartfelt reunion! LOL!
One sided heartfelt reunion…heh.
Hi Y’all!
Whoa! What a wild man! Oh to be young again!
I’m only 6 but I’d just as soon be wherever my Human is…if it’s hiking, great! playing ball, great! retrieving bumpers, great! Otherwise, let me lay by her chair or rest a head on her knee while she pats me. Maybe he’ll mellow with age or maybe you’d better count on Thunder mellowing first. 😉 Or Scout…after…you know…
Y’all come back now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
I suspect it will be a bit before he mellows. He reminds me of his grandfather at times and he is just now mellowing at 6…lol.
Wow look at that focus! I think that’s pretty awesome, but he will definitely have to stay in the trailer at hunt tests! LOL
Happy Monday!
That is the plan. Saturday he was in a “hole” where he could see the marks going off. Talk about whining…lol. Freighter and a flat coat…whine whine whine.
Wow! Looks like Freigther is really getting into his work! That is great that you can stop in and see how he is doing!
That is the benefit of living relatively close to the trainer and going there for training on a regular basis. We are lucky to have found him.
Love your new template and header! Wow I can’t get over Freighter’s focus, he really is a natural retriever (maybe even uber natural!) and is completely in his element. He’s going to be your next blue ribbon pup! 🙂
Thanks, on all accounts. How long until Freighter doesn’t look like the picture in my header? 😉
He is one focused dog!!
Blessings,
Goose
Yes focused and a bit crazy. 🙂
Wow – that flew by! So glad to hear he loves his new job so much – but sorry you got the crappy greeting. Don’t you just love it when you miss them to pieces after a time away, and they give you like a drive by greeting. “Oh hi! Nice to see you. Okay, see yah later, I’ve got things to do!”
And that was exactly what it was like. lol Stinker.
All business… No brag, just fact.
Except when he decided to munch a bit of grass on the long mark. 😆 Still a puppy I guess.
Be careful what you wish for right? It is awesome that he is so motivated to train. I bet he is going to be a star.
Exactly…lol…it is what we were hoping for!
YAY for Freighter! We sure love him!
Lovies, Miss Mindy
Thanks Miss Mindy.
Oh handsome Freighter………!! ❤.❤!! i love reunions :}
Thanks Poppy. 🙂
Freighter looks very focused. Stetson gives the same stare and focus when someone has a treat in their hand.
Freighter would too for a treat. Maybe next time we’ll bring treats!
Wow, looks like your trainer really turned on the motivational juice for Freighter. Can’t wait to see how he does for you.
Yes he is a bit crazy at the moment. It is good. 🙂
Freighter, is that you!?
BOY O BOY have you grown 🙂
Slobbesr
He sure has. 🙂
Haha Freighter,
They sure can’t say you weren’t concentrating enough, hey?
Have fun,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
You know humans Snoopy, never happy…lol.
He sure looks good, glad the training is coming along nicely. When I left Norman and Nellie at the trainers they wouldn’t even look at me. They loved Uncle Mike because he was doing all the fun stuff with them. I did manage to get a kiss here and there thou!
Thunder was the same way as Freighter. We sent Thunder to a different trainer who was quite a distance away. The trainer had to come to Michigan to judge a test so I met her here to pick up Thunder. He acted like he had no idea who I was. It wasn’t until I turned the car on to our street that he acknowledged me…lol. Storm, well she was always happy to see us. But then she has her own personality.
Sweet Freighter we are so happy to come here and see you…we missed you! We can see you took your training to heart. We are happy you are enjoying it and it is not like work to you. Keep enjoying those bumpers but don’t forget to give the family some hugs now and then. lol Hugs and nose kisses
He is definitely enjoying it. 🙂
Nice work, Freighter! I love the look on his face in that first picture.
Your pal, Pip
He was concentrating…lol.
Hah, he looks very…um…enthusiastic in the first picture!
Yep. He wanted to GO!
Freighter looks like he is in the zone! Glad to hear his training is going so well!
Bella and DiDi
In the zone is a good way to describe it.
That first photo is priceless!
Good job Freighter 🙂
I know he was kind of wild. 😆
It’s really great that Freighter is learning so well. You can see the focus and desire on every inch of hid face. But you know … There’s another dog getting all the bumpers Mom… Those are my bumpers, I’m suppose to be getting those 🙁 Freighter is going to be great 🙂
It wasn’t just the other dog, it was the fact that the trainer was working with another dog. lol
Such a handsome dog!
Thank you. 🙂
