Training Time!

Time for another update! I am now four months old and have a very busy schedule, I've started learning to swim and each week go to a Hydrotherapy pool, it was a little bit scary the first week but I was very brave, it felt funny not being able to stand on something firm and I was very splashy with my front legs, 2nd attempt and Mum said I was HEAPS better, not as splashy and I swam up and down properly :)

Afterwards I get a shower and shampoo and then go under this big snake like thing that hisses hot air at me which dries my coat off, then I get lots of fuss and cuddles which is the best bit!

At the weekend I met up with an old friend of Dexter and Ditto's called Charlie, he is rather sweet on Auntie Ditto apparently, here we all are. Pic taken by Charlie's Mum as mine forgot her camera...

From left to right is Ditto, Deazel, Charlie and Dexter

In between all this fun I have to do some training and here are some videos taken earlier this week:

This one is all three of us doing a sit stay, Dexter is reluctant to leave the training toys left at the top end of the field in the grass as there is a BALL in the bag! I'm a bit fidgity in this one as its the first one I had done of these for a while (thought perhaps Mum had forgotten about sit stay but no such luck!)

(Had a few problems getting these vids uploaded, couldn't upload direct to google blog so had to embedd from Vimeo, please let me know if any problems viewing, click again on play button if first click doesn't play)



Here is a second video of similar, very boring all this sitting around lark, but I managed to keep my bum on the floor this time!



And here is one of my retrieving my kong (given to me by Auntie Sarah)



Mum said I was a really good little pup in this one doing a sit stay in the middle of the field all by myself! Sometimes we all train together or sometimes two of us are tethered whilst the other one gets to train/play. I got a bit fed up though and decided to have a snooze.



Now this is more like it! Training over and its now Playtime!!

Here we all are lined up in a row, Dexter and Ditto are watching something that is called deer, its ears were visible popping out of the wheat in the nearby field, not really quite sure what all the fuss was about.

I soon got bored standing looking at a field of wheat and tried my best to persuade Ditto to play, but she was more interested in watching the wheat.. oh I mean watching the deer, but not quite sure what a deer is yet...
