I got it in a bird dog starter kit, it’s a canvas Remington retriever dummy like this one just white instead of orange:

Well lost both his favorite chuck it balls (he only likes the orange ones)
But he had a great day at the beach ! Athena is in heat so she the rest of the crew stayed home.

It's raining steadily today and this bull decided he wanted to snack on some bouganvillea. He also looked like he would like to come in out of the rain! 
He would have liked a head scratch, but Jazz broke her sit-stay at this moment and things got hectic! Hence the blurry pic! She just couldn't STAND me touching him! Had to remove Jazz from the scene and quietly move him on.

All the cattle are free range and they muster with a helicopter. The bulls usually are solitary unless an "interesting" cow is scented!
These bulls are super placid and I think they breed for this temperament as it means less hassle in the yards. This particular bull has obviously had a lot of handling in his early days. Been taught to lead and be groomed for sale at the very least and I suspect he's been to a show or two as well!

Dingo went hard at agility class last night!
My little baby Moo was in just 3 pre-agility classes before he got bumped up to the Foundations class. Our trainer said that he was even the most advanced in the Foundations class! He makes me so proud
and he was FAAAAAAST!

Kaiser found a very young bunny on his turf today. Hopefully the mom bunny collects him soon. 
Here’s the lil one up close.

A happy boy.
Surprise for me. He’s happy just walking with me. I never get this happy face unless we are playing.

I believe it does work. In my experience not only are kids more interested in reading, their comprehension improves. No studies done on that but teachers report that reading test scores improve after participating in one of these programs. One of many theories is kids feel like they are telling a story to the dog so they pay more attention to what they are reading. It is supposed to be the most help for kids that struggle with reading because dogs won't make fun of you like another kid if you don't know a word. It's a GREAT program! I highly recommend people get involved.
In my personal experience I find it also helps kids understand the importance of training. I always run my dogs through an obedience routine before we start. It helps take the edge off the dogs so they settle down to work. So many kids have been fascinated and ask me how I taught the commands so they can teach their own dogs.
The training requirements to be a therapy dog is stuff I feel a dog should already know so the testing is easy to pass. Therapy Dogs International
So if you have free afternoon here and there get involved! It's so rewarding!
