Blaze 8 months old

[Doberman Gang]

We did some training on the table Saturday. We also decided to see if Blaze would like to swim to cool off afterwards. He did really well for his first time in the water. He still keeps impressing us in is protection work. Obedience is really coming along, retrieved the ipo 2 dumbbell twice then I had him carry it back to the shed to put it up. Tracking 140 paces with 1 corner and an article at the end.

Wow!! You got some great shots! Phoenix and I had our first (together) day at our local SCH/IPO club yesterday. She did great, except that she was NOT Interested in the flirt pole or tug.. she loves it at home. Did Blaze take right to it in new environments?

He doesn't care where he is, he just wants to bite. I never do training at my house, I always take my dogs somewhere to train. This helps build engagement and focus on me, they also then think anytime we go somewhere it is to go training.
I have seen many dogs that are not interested in bitework (flirtpole, playing tug etc....) the first time they come out to train. There are so many new smells, dogs, people etc... it can be overwhelming to them. Once they get the routine of going there to train, they usually will settle in for the work. Your dog is still a puppy so will change more and more as he gets older. Build confidence and engagement with you. Have fun most of all.
