We had an awesome training day on Saturday. The weather people predicted rain, but it turned out to be sunny and warm, (a little windy too). Thunder ran a fabulous triple and a nice channel blind, (more on that tomorrow). We took Freighter over to the swim-by pond so that he could get a little time in the water. He had a blast and is learning that the best way to get into the water quickly is to splash!
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.
I didn’t realize Freighter still needed a leash on as he does this. Looks like he is doing good!
He is still on a check cord until he is old enough and trained enough for e-collar. His recall is pretty good, but you never know…
Looks like a lot of fun splashing around!
It doesn’t take Freighter long to catch on to anything, does it. He sure did get his splash on and it looks like he thoroughly enjoyed it! That boy’s going places! 🙂 Great shots!
Boy, is he having a fabulous time!
Love these photos! What fun Freighter is having!! 😀
The bigger the splash the better!! Maybe Freighter could teach the Newfs how to properly enter the water:)
Freighter really knows how to make a big splash! Looks like fun.
Your pal, Pip
I think I live in the wrong state. You have so many places for your dogs to swim and train. 🙂 We don’t really have any around here, I took the dogs to the boat launch on a local lake once and Delilah decided she wanted to swim across the lake. Yeah, that was scary. LOL
Freighter was chasing a duck the other day and hubby thought he might have to go swimming, but he caught the check cord…lol.
These pictures are from our trainer’s place he has 2 ponds. The big technical pond and a swim by pond. We put Freighter in the swim by pond while the others were busy swimming long water marks. We are lucky to train there. It is beautiful water.
Hi Y’all,
Ah! The big dog dive! You go Freighter!
Just hopped over to catch up with your happenings and say hello! Have fun this week and try to avoid gettin’ into mischief!
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
I’m with Jodistone on this – I’m so jealous! I live on an Island, yet there is NOT many places for my dogs to go splashing around! Looks like he’s having a great time. 🙂
Oh, so much fun Freighter!!
Did you do a belly flop?! Tee Hee
Wags to all,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
I like that big jump that he did in one of the last pictures! It’s funny how the water gets them all “ruffled” up.
Woof! Woof! I agree that’s FUN! Happy Monday Mischief. Lots of Golden ALOHA n Woofs, Sugar
