Glad to see you bonding with him.

thanks bud.
Hank will not heel if we are going to an event. event = frisbee time, dock diving, etc. my trainer stated that we needed to make a decision early on. do we want a compliant dog 100% of the time, or will we allow Hank to maintain his drive.
she told us to look into Fly-Ball. its a crazy dog relay where the dogs run down a lane, push a button which ejects a ball into the air, and they catch the ball, and run back. it is 90% border collie dominated. not a single one of those dogs would heel. ever. i understood what the trainer was talking about. i kinda want to try it. me and Hank. it is nuts how driven those animals are..they run past each other in this relay with pure determination.
we let hank hang onto his drive.
