Our Retriever Learns to Retrieve (or at least tries)



On Saturday, under beautiful blue skies and weather more typical of late summer, Shadow learned to play "fetch."

Shadow the Victorious

It was a step-by-step process for him -- first realizing he was supposed to go get the disc, then that we expected him to return to us, and finally that he had to actually give his new toy back -- but within a few minutes he was racing back and forth like a true outdoor dog.


It really is amazing watching him work things out in his head and change some small behavior in accordance with the new knowledge. More about that tomorrow, but for now enjoy the photos of Shadow and his flying disc.

Very good job, Shadow ;)
(Doesn't he look so proud?)
