Burge Plantation weekend

Larsen and I attended Novice I (Obedience). We did sits, comes, and some more sits. The purpose of this is to develop a heightened degree of communications between us. This weekend, we will meet with Joe DeMarkis (Shogun Spaniels) to begin the final ascent to the summit. Friend, and Clumber Spaniel afficienado Amy T arranged to have Joe train with a handful of spaniel enthusiasts at beautiful and exclusive Burge Plantation.

Larsen and I will begin the "steadying" process, wherein Larsen sits upon flushing the bird and stays hupped until he is dismissed in pursuit of a downed bird. This is the gating factor between Larsen's Senior and Master Hunter. Everything now is focused on obedience and communication.
