Not so bad after all

I would have blipped earlier, but Beat needed a hug and kept stepping on my keyboard, so I decided that Blip would have to wait. Awwwww Beat :-).

I took the boys training after work.

This is Hero with the stethoscope, we use to open the safe in his robbery routine. He used to hate carrying it as it has a rubber tube, which feels funny in his mouth and the metal bits are not very nice to bite on. It took ages to teach him to pick it up and hold it.

He has learned to love it though as we have made so many great games, which included holding it. Today I threw the stethoscope and asked Hero to go get it. When he brought it back and gave it to me in my hand, I would click and swap it for his chuckit ball.

Hero had the best time and working in this way also taught him to hold on to the stethoscope even though he was out of breath. It is usually easier for him to hold things, when he is calm, but during the routine he will most likely be panting, so he needs to be able to do it at all times.

We had fun :-)

[And I apologize - great picture quality and dog training at the same time is not always a possibility and this time good training was more important to me :)]

We finished the training session with a good long walk, whilst I chatted to my friend Helle on the phone (headset).

See you tomorrow!

Hey - one year ago, I also blipped Hero learning to carry something.
