Here's Beauty, starting to learn Hold, which will be the basis of Retrieve, and Carry.
She came to me for a fuss, so I put a small price on her getting fuss, she had to let me gently cup her chin, then hold my fingers near her teeth, then finally she had to accept my fingers just under her lips. Next stage is accepting my fingers in her mouth, then an item. It looks like I'm holding her, but I'm not. She was free to move away at any time. To be continued!
I look a bit like death warmed up, sorry if any small children have had to be taken screaming out of the room... On the course John did the same with a Saluki, but better and faster!
