Another Fabulous Day of Training!

Goodbye water training, Hello draft training!

A Simply Fabulous Start to the Draft Training Season!
We had a great turn out. The weather was perfect. The company was terrific and the Newfs were, as usual, amazing! We had several new-to-the-newf-sport dogs introduced to draft yesterday. They went through each of the warm up phases with happy enthusiasm so everyone worked up to a little cart pulling. We discussed the proper fit of the harness and cart, worked on basic control, and even took a few of the more experienced dogs on a short freight haul. Click on the title of the post to get to the full photo album for the day. (Suzanne, thanks for the photos!)
