Pup's first hunt ever

[QuePasaJames]

Hey guys, last time I posted anything about my dog, I was beginning the force fetch process. I took him to "High on Kennels" in Mesa Grande, and Ruth over there jump started me on his collar conditioning and force fetch training. Just an hour session with Ruth, and she gave me the confidence to start the training at home.

Archer is now 18 months, and when I got him, he had a bad problem with trying to rip birds apart and play keep-away. He is a full bred golden retriever, and has come a long way from where he was. He is now fully force fetched, basic obedience is done, and he is collar conditioned. This pup brings me so much joy every day!

Yup looks like he had some fun for sure.
