Dog’s Best Friend: Spring training

06 Mar Dog’s Best Friend: Spring training

(editor's note: Somehow the post that was to accompany Ted's video went adrift. I am attempting to recreate the feeling of that post days later.)

Ted Hoff of Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel is constantly working with his dogs and the dogs in his care. In his video for this week, Ted is doing some retrieve training with his young female Lab, Mae. Check out the rapport between Ted and Mae. She never loses sight of the decoy, while still being totally aware of what Ted wants. The training is all about repetition, appropriate praise, and keeping it fun.
