Summer puppy training on liberated birds

In addition to ‘flocking’ puppies for exercise and handling, we also work them together at times on liberated birds.  During these workouts they learn to read what the other dogs are doing by observing their body posture and tail action.  They also get used to having other dogs around them and to stay focused with distractions.  While reading the other dogs, they are attracted to one that is acting birdy and naturally learn to back (if they have it their genes), as the above puppies certainly do! Clockwise from left to right they are:  Chardonnay, Moose, Chablis and Lager.  Moose is by Long Gone Murphy and CH Long Gone Madison and the other three are by Blue Shaquille and Houston’s Belle’s Choice.  What a fun group of puppies!!
