Peter Cavallaro Webboard User Reg: 07-09-2010 Posts: 536 Loc: Offline	hi, sadly i am excited about a training "break-through" even if it was unintended. as kids we were force trained to hydrate EVERY time we came across a water source. carried water was only there as a last resort. so anyways when out in forest with dog the dog seemed to copy this behaviour. now i can point in a direction n give a verbal command n the dog will trot out in the direction i'm pointing and plonk itself down in the the water. i thought hey this dog is doing a command so i set up a training situation in the yard with hurdles, touch pads etc and a trough full of water to give the dog a choice - n made sure the dog wasn't thirsty. to my amazement the dog will select the correct item from a choice n climb into the water and down. sorry boring story but was so amazed i trained something without getting it from a video or from another trainer. OK no big deal but it rocked my world. cheers

I love these kinds of moments. When they happen, they just keep the training fun, accidental or not! Sounds like fun. Joyce Salazar
