Oh yes please! Zola is fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my first time with Zola and the ferret and the wabbits Twisted Evil

Yes, one of the distinct advantages of training with someone is that you can bounce new ideas around. It only dawned on me at the weekend that I haven't done enough marked retrieves with Whistle so she isn't marking the dummies very well, even though she will mark birds. Helen also gave me some tips on directional retrieves, something else I wouldn't have got if I'd been training on my own Very Happy

And there is no point in even thinking about asking Gary to come with me Rolling Eyes

Looks like you had a great weekend, well done on the swimming progress.

My Chester splashes away when heading out for the dummy, but as soon as he grabs it he turns and glides back in!!
Why is that? Is it just a sign of progress? or is the weight of the dummy helping? (does he need more ballast?)

No idea. Wonder if it's enthusiasm taking over on the way out??

Here's a pic of Pippa - just so she doesn't feel left out lol.
