Just when you think all is lost

I am sure many have been here, last few weeks feeling no progress been made with has the lab, stubborn and headstrong, start feeling he's only going to be a pet and why the hell am I getting up in the dark before work to train him.

 

Then today had a 1-1 with his excellent first time on dead game and he shocks me on how well he did, things seemed to click.

 

So if I can get him over his gun shyness might have a shooting budy after all!

Very stubborn and headstrong, you can actually see him weighing up if doing what he wants is worth telling off! I'm sure sometime next week he will be back to frustrating me, but he's a rescue, started late and I did things wrong to start with not him, wish I'd seen a good trainer from week 1 of getting him, lesson learnt and even if he did only end up as pet and never worked wouldn't be without him.

I seem to go through phases like this with my dog. Some days I take her out training expecting a disaster due to what's happened previously, and get the best results ever. Other days I go out hoping for excellence on what should be easy stuff and get the dog from hell.

I too sometimes wonder "should I give up and have her just as a pet". But then I realise even if I spend another whole year training her I'll still get 8, 9, maybe 10 years good service out of her.

I just hope I can pull it off!
