This weekend we did some land and water training, the dogs were getting fit in both venues. Today’s pictures were taken on our land training. We used ducks on the marks and then pink bumpers for the blinds.
Glory taking off.
When doesn’t line the mark she needs to run and hunt it up.
Got it.
Another mark and retrieve.
Head shot before the blind.
The blind and the pink bumper.
Gambler the power house.

Coming in.
For the most part when training and running marks the dogs do several sprints and then a long run-hunt may happen when they lose track of where the bird went. With blinds there may be several starts and stops with pivots to get their next cast. So they are working several muscles and doing several types of fitness when out training.

They look pretty intense…they are going to get those birds no matter what! So cool!
Fantastic action shots! Love those head-on photos of Glory and Gambler with the ducks in their mouths. It must be such a joy to watch them work!
Great action shots. Love that powerhouse shot of Gambler with all four feet in the air. So strong. Thanks for joining the Hop today!
Hunting is some serious exercise for both the brain and the body! No wonder the SS Chessies are so fit. Great photos! I always love to see the action shots.
Happy Friday,

Great photos! Hard to believe it is still brown and fall-like there 🙁 We finally have real spring weather and it’s hard to not be outside all the time!
Great shots!
Looks like a great, fun workout!
Are those real ducks? It looked like a great time, the pictures are beautiful! Love Dolly
It’s like cross training all in one activity! Love the photos!
Wonderful pictures. Your ducks look nice and fresh, unlike our frozen yuckie ones…lol. I bet the dogs loved them too!
