Today I took Hank out to do some retrieving, but I did something different than usual, though not on purpose. Usually I come home, change clothes and work with him. Well, my wife stays home most of the time so he runs free all day chasing everything in sight. Alot of times he does well, but you can tell he is worn out, tired and not really "feeling it". Today I came home, put him in his crate so I could go weed eat down by the road (I dont like to take him anywhere near the edges of the property) He was in the crate about 2-3 hours. I let him out when I was finished and we went to train immediately. Now, I dont know what he did in the crate, Im assuming he slept/rested but wow was his training different. He was spot on with everything. He casted perfectly, he held all the bumpers and the Dokken perfectly, he stayed till released, blew out at the bumper, came straight back sat down and held until "give". He did this every single time the exact same way for about 15 minutes and I shut it down. Im definitely going to try to mimic this scenario in the future.
