Not been able to get much done

I was away at the weekend with the dogs in Norfolk so wasn't able to get any training done. Then it has been very hot Sunday and Monday, and very stormy today. I was only able to attempt 1 or 2 retrieves on the hot days, but we did get some swimming practice in.

I did some 'back' command practice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsyTPSteLhg which she is good at, I tried sending her back without any dummy to find, sort of as a 'send away' exercise and she went running off looking for a dummy, I then stopped her to whistle and recalled her.

I have some free time in the morning tomorrow so will try and get some progress done.

We have a Water Training day coming up on the 10th July which I am looking forward to. Olive is a strong, fast swimmer already. She will retrieve in the water, but always drops dummy as soon as she comes out of the water, so I will need to work on this more.
