The weather for training was so nice on Saturday that all of the puppies got a chance to swim in the big pond. Once Freighter figured it out, he had the best time!

Wow! Freighter, that sure looks like fun!

Hey Freighter, Jet here. What an AWESOME swimming hole… great for practicing. I have a yucky, smelly canal, with ducks, underwater swimming things and Mom says these icky snake things and she won’t let me go unless I escape… She does let me swim in the pool though…. 🙂
Freighter is a real super star! I love the proud look on his face. I remember when I learned how to swim – I fell into a pond and had to start paddling for dear life! Now I love fetching sticks from teh water so much my human sometimes think I’m a retriever not a mountain doggie *waggy tail*
It looks like a great pond. Delilah would 1) eat tons of poop and 2) be chasing the geese. So tell me how you train dogs who fetch birds not to chase them?
Looks like Freighter’s off to a great start!! He’s going to be a great retriever.
Those are all decoys. The trainer leaves them out so for the dogs won’t be bothered by them at a test or while hunting. 🙂 As far as keeping the dogs from chasing geese…eventually they understand their jobs and have good recall.
Well I’ll be dipped. I thought for sure they were live geese!!
Darrin will be happy to hear that his decoys look real. 🙂
That is great! It looks like Freighter just might be a natural!
He is a natural. I hope to swim as good as him someday.
Blessings,
Goose
What terrific pictures! It looks like Freighter had a hoot!
Looks like Freighter was in his element in the water! He’s a credit to you.
It looks like it was a great swim! Good job Freighter.

Nice moves, Freighter!
Your pal, Pip
The weather is lovely here as well! We spent all weekend outdoors.
I wish I had taught Kyuss to swim as a pup. He still can’t swim.. he can float while flailing about vertically in the water, but that’s about it!
Great photos!
I am sure that has to do with his body shape. I bet you could still teach him how to swim.
Wow, he’s a winner. Great job!!
Yay Freighter,
You’re so clever buddy!! How nice to have a swim when the weather is warm…. 🙂
Have fun,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Oh Freighter you seem to be coming along in leaps and bounds!
It looks like you had a ton of fun swimming with the duckies. You need to teach me how to be so brave, Freighter!
What a beautiful lake for swimming fun, learning to swim and getting the bumper all in one afternoon. It looks like Freighter had a great time and did a great job bringing in the bumpers. Great job Freighter!
I am so jealous. What a great place to train and have fun. My pointers and retrievers would love it.
i’m so impressed that freighter seems to care not about the ducks and the ducks seem uninterested in freighter. i think if desmond were willing to go into the water for more than 7 seconds, he’d chase the ducks. it would be chaos. wet and noisy chaos. lol
