2012 Back to 2011 Feb 2 - Prado. Water singles and doubles, then mixed double with double blind at Freds. Jan 31 - Prado. Water singles, a blind and one triple over dikes at Dike pond. Little force to go. Jan 25 - Mini Sch trial. Second NF leg, did very well, 9 secs under time with 2 extra points, First place, only 24" to Q. Jan 25 - Worked stops on contact board. Jan 22 - moving attention in house, some CTH. Jan 15 - WAGD. Brace quarter to flush, did well, then triple with breaking bird flyer from left, long bird behind that and another to the right. Had a no bird after his flyer went way left behind bushes, went right back, no trouble with right bird or flyer, had to handle to "middle" bird because he wanted to go look for other flyer. Blind back side of right bird, OK, needs to work on believing me when I handle him away from old fall. Then water double with bulldog and blind to cover of pond to right, only issue was he hesitated to go and went in slow on go bird but was fine after that. Trail no problem first MHR leg. Jan 14 - WAGD. First series water triple with dog on platform in water - long bird to right that handler couldn't see, middle wipe out bird, flyer to left. He did fine on first two birds, then I decided to put him back on platform for the long bird because I couldn't see it even from there. Two no gos, moved to shore, went fine, was heading for coots way far out, gave him an over just as he passed the bird and he picked it right up. Dropped for two no gos, ran test on land triple with blind, no problem on marks except he trotted to all of them - because they were all dead birds? Blind a little hacky because it was close to middle bird but OK. Later did some land singles and blind with force to go. Jan 13 - WAGD site. Land triple with blind, then another triple. Only refused to go once, plus did a little force to come as well. Jan 12 - Prado. Started with land doubles and a triple but had to cut back to just doubles when the power quit on the winger. One land blind. Water double with blind. Much better today. Jan 10 - Prado. Started with land doubles, had to move to singles to work on marking, corrected without handling, may have gotten the clue at the end. Trailing, quarter to flush. Jan 8 - Prado. Water triple with blind on collar so started ugly, then land triple. Jan 5 - PS match. Really nice heeling and figure 8 in ring, had attention almost continually, only fed maybe 3 -4 times. Didn't do anything else, then jackpotted after we left ring. Jan 4 - Prado. Land/water/land double and blind, long singles and blinds. Jan 3 - Wendy. Heeling/attention around other dogs, recall. Jan 2 - Wendy. Agility, heeling.
