At training this past Saturday there were a couple younger dogs and a couple of puppies who were trying out the water for the first time. After they were finished, there were a lot of extra bumpers floating in the pond. Before we could go onto the next set-up, the extra bumpers had to be picked up.
Call in the clean up crew a/k/a dogs that know how to handle in water.
Freighter, Thunder, and a few of the other dogs took turns picking up the extra bumpers.
I am not a fan of cleaning, but I guess the brown dawgs don’t mind so much.
I will be away from the blog for a a few days because we are attending a training seminar with Bill Hillmann. Long time readers may remember that we used Bill Hillmann’s Training A Retriever Puppy dvd to help us train Freighter when he was very young. I wrote about it here. Hubby and I are really looking forward to the seminar.
We are taking Freighter with us. Thunder will be staying behind with his breeder and we left Storm with our trainer for a couple of weeks rather than board her.
It has taken a lot of organization to get ready to travel to this seminar, but I am sure it will be worth it. The best part is that I will be meeting a fellow blogger. I am super-duper excited that I will be meeting JoAnn and the Sand Spring gang!

Water dogs! My faves 🙂 Have a great time this weekend. I’m so jealous you get to meet JoAnn in person!
What fun to be the clean up crew, extra bumpers for all. I am super excited to meet you and Jim also along with Freighter!
Have a good seminar, always interesting to read about bloggers meeting up 😉
What a great clean-up crew – do they do windows? Have fun at your seminar – say hello to JoAnn. I’m sure you guys will have a great time – you can have a mini-BlogPaws!
Have fun at your seminar. We are at BlogPaws now, hope to learn a lot and have lots of fun too! Your clean up team does a great job!
Oh please give G-man and Glory and Nellie a hug from me!
Great work helping out.
Great action shots

How cool that the dogs do the cleanup so the humans don’t have to! 🙂
I hope you have a great time at your seminar, and how fun that you are getting to meet JoAnn (we follow her blog too).
Enjoy your trip!
They sure made for a great clean-up crew. Nothing better than a bunch of employees who enjoy their work! 🙂 Hope you have fun at the seminar!
Hi Y’all!
Just wanted to stop and wish y’all a happy Mother’s Day and hope y’all had a great time at your seminar (and learned a lot…ahem Freighter, did you learn anything?)
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Looks like you’re ready to start fetching the birds this season. Hope you have a great trip as well.
What helpful pups! Now, if only I can get my two to do the same with their toys around the house…Enjoy your training seminar! Looking forward to reading about it when you get back. Much love, The Scottie Mom.
Hope you had a great time at the seminar! And Happy Mother’s Day!
