Austin School

Our son Austin has been spending most of his free time working with the police training their police dogs.  He loves training dogs and the added challenge of police dog training is pure joy for him.  This afternoon was "Austin School" time at Yesteryear Acres.

Group Sit 

Group Stay 

Now individual dog commands while the other doggies stay and watch 

"Down" and "Sit" and "Come" 

Each doggie doing great with their own commands 

Now the hardest part of all.....throwing the treasured and precious ball.....AND LEAVING IT THERE 

I am sure Hickory feels tortured at this point 

"Look at that lonely ball!  And I have to leave it!" 

Olive and Hank are very focused on the command work 

Hickory walked past his beloved ball and is waiting for the "Go Get It" command 

Next up is Hank 

Both dogs did great in leaving the ball behind

and now....... 

REWARD!  Time to play fetch! 

Hank wanted to share a few tricks...."Sit Pretty"

"Pound It" 

Thank you very much sir

Great work today!
