With the recent hot week, my four dogs still needed exercise. We were up early and arrived at the pond around 5:30 am. The temperature was already in the upper 70's and very humid.

Gunny ran first and did a water lining drill. He is preparing for another AKC Senior hunt test. His individual "Final Breeze" fan was blowing full blast afterwards. Taffey, Daisy and Kooly need to keep in shape for the fall hunting season. Therefore, they did four water retrieves and we quickly headed home for the comfort of air-conditioning.

Just recently, I've been placing multiple dogs at the line in certain "solo" setups. This video is an example of how much a "group of dogs" (that know each other well) will react when they understand "training alone" expectations. They are very good at being team players..waiting their turn, paying attention (most of the time) and having fun. Duck hunting season is not far off.....Sept 4th. This "Summer Maintenance Session" went well.

By 11 o'clock, it was in the 90's. Whew!



note: 13+ minutes

Nice video. I know my 2 labs have felt stuck in the house during this last week. I would take them out to the field by the house and they just get hot so fast. I'm to work by 5:30 so I take them out in the evening. I think when it was 110 hear they just like wathcin the big screen and laying on the couch in the aircondintion lol., They are very spoiled little girls

yea it has been tough because it is still in the 90's when it gets dark down here and I havent been working my dog much at all
