Dithering

[Spudlet]

Just dithering about whether to rearrange the dog training session I have booked on Saturday, it looks like it's still going to be hot and Henry tends to go on sit-down strike in this weather!

LOL I would be firm and go to the session, he has to learn to work in all weathers?

 

[mollichop]

Do it - he'll be fine i'm sure. I thought the same but mine's at 6.00pm tonight so thought I could always take them for a swim on the way home to cool off

 

[Spudlet]

My lesson is at midday, and there's no shade or breeze where we train at the best of times

Have emailed to see if we can move it to earlier or later in the day, if not I will go for it but take even more water than normal so I can give him a good soaking at the beginning of the lesson - I had to hose him down before we went for our lunchtime wander today and he was bone dry again by the time we got back

 

[mollichop]

Ooh will be hotter then. Hmmm well we're not doing an awful lot off slip yet so not so demanding for them. If Henry's going to be running about like a loon then he might struggle a bit more.

Plus we're working in woodland - nice and shady.

If Henry's going to be running about like a loon then he might struggle a bit more.

Surely the words 'Henry' and 'loon' are synonymous?

LOL! In this weather you throw a dummy and he just sits there and looks at you like you're insane

Never mind Henry, I am more likely to sit down and refuse to move in the midday heat. I'd be moving it for me, on the pretence that I'm caring about my poopy puppy.

I'd try and move it. I'm doing the minimum with mine during the heat of the day, the 2 older ones are quite happy to just lie in the shade. Mind you Evie is dragging 5 gallon water container around as I type, daughter is sun bathing in the garden and I think Evil one is trying to get her attention.

Unless we have a very freakish winter, Henry doesn't need to learn about working in this heat!
I'd move it, mainly because Otto doesn't quite understand about slowing down and would run himself into the ground!

You should have felt the heat at some of the shows recently! With gaiting

It's been raining here today...

OK, now I know I need to change it - just got back from a walk / training session and he was fab, made every retrieve, waited and marked beautifully, hunted out every random dummy I hid in the undergrowth and recalled and heeled like a good'un. Huzzah, I was starting to think he'd forgotten it all!
