March 26 Draft Training

We had a great time with our newfies and carts.  Everyone did great and we ended up with happy, tired puppies at the end of the day.  See below for some pics courtesy of Suzanne!

March 12 Water Training on LAND! (not shown in photos - our own photographer, Suzanne!)

We had a great turnout for training.  Lots of dogs and handlers got a jump start on the water training season!  The land work will help us transfer the necessary skills when we get to the water.  See below for a few of the highlights!
