Retrieving Game

[Dogster]

AWWWWWwwww!!!!! SOOOO CUTE!!!! I love how Oliver bounces in the snow!!!! It's sooo cute how he paws at the ball catcher!!!!

He's a goofy guy! Terriers like nothing better than to make you laugh! At least the terriers I've known

LOL Oliver's boing and his nose all covered in snow!

He is such a happy dog chasing his ball even (or is it "especially"?) when he has to dig it out every time.

Does he chase snow balls?

 

[sara]

Yes he does, I got a video of the too... but I'm not taking the time to upload it LOL

Especially, LOL He likes dropping his ball them burying it so he can dig it out again

It took his nearly 1/2 hour to thaw out once we got home. His whole body was solid ice. you cant see it in the video, but when I touched his back, all I could feel was snow! LOL Surprising that he wasn't cold, with all that snow and ice against his skin.

 

[Dogster]

Oh my.... I guess Oliver didn't get cold because he was having soo much fun!!!! LOL!!!! When he dug his ball up in the snow, did he find it every time???

 

[sara]

Mostly, as long as I didn't throw it too far if I did he'd end up looking in the wrong spot.

 

[Dogster]

Haha, CUTE!!!!

 

[Ripleygirl]

Loving the snow fetches, Sara!! You get proper snow... we've gone the whole winter with nothing more than a few flakes that melt as soon as they hit the ground...

 

[Pawbla]

Loved this thread! I'm going to try this!

 

[Amateur]

Oli and Hank are cut from the same cloth

 

[Dogster]

WOW!!!! Your dog is BEAUTIFUL, Amateur!!!! ADORABLE!!!!! I LOVE how he plays in the snow!!!! It's SOOO CUTE when he bounces to get the ice!!!!

 

[Pawbla]

You know something my dog has started to like? Fetching his Kong. I bought one recently and he likes fetching it because it bounces erratically. I guess it's because of the same reason dogs like this fetching game!

 

[Dogster]

Glad he likes the kong!!!! Shivon doesn't care for her kong much..... until we put peanut butter in it!!!!!

 

[Anneke]

Ollie is adorable with all that show on his face!!

And Amateur, I love your dog!!! I was laughing out loud at his hopping around and sticking his face in the snow!!!

We have no real problems with retrieve here, not this way.
It's the retrieve in obedience where we are having problems. Jinx has to give the dummy in my hand, but she wants to keep it herself No matter how much I treat... She will give it up for a treat, but next time she will do the same... turn her head with the dummy in her mouth... Silly girl

 

[Dogster]

Hilarious!!!! Shivon does the EXACT same!!!! But she wants to tug instead....

 

[sara]

Oliver throws the ball back to me He's all about the game and the quicker I get the ball, the sooner the game commences! LOL
