Michelle with Brady (E-litter, Alta-Tollhaus Epic, Digger x Maika) showing us all how to do it, starting off with perfect attention and focus.
Beautiful heeling
Hard-hitting dynamo
Full-calm bites
Long-down looking simply handsome…I think he knows it too.
Michelle, Brady looks fantastic! I’ve been watching you through all the pictures you’ve posted and think you’ve done an excellent job of training him. Good for you for sticking to it and becoming a terrific team with him.
You said it Jane. I always feel immense pride in how accomplished Michelle has become. Brady is her first dog ever.
There is not much to say about Michelle & Brady that hasn’t been said a zillion times—they are an awesome team!!
What you can’t “hear” in pictures is the sound that Brady makes when he hits the sleeve. He would knock me over – he is so powerful. I know it is a workout for Gustavo – he was sweating and breathing hard afterwards, but always smiling.
I KNOW Kelli Brady hits really hard. He is very dynamic!!!
As far as Gustavo breathing hard, that is nothing you should see other helpers after doing decoy work.
It was great watching these two. A good example of some excellent training in action!
In a small, but powerful, word … WOW!
Very handsome indeed. You two are simply awesome.
So handsome . . . I think Millie has a crush on Brady!
I think Millie does have a thing for Brady too…but then again she is a bit of a flirt.
Brady is hot for Millie, so I was very proud that he was able to work through it! We’ve talked about not allowing the girls to get us distracted when we are training!
Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement. Training for the IPO is not quick and easy. So, I appreciate the praise and cheers we get along the way!
PS
All of these pictures were taken on Brady’s 3rd Birthday. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and he told me he wanted to go to dog training and play Bite the Cuban!
Thanks for taking and posting the pictures!!
So this is Brady’s version of a Cuban sandwich!
Happy Birthday, Brady.
Brady is looking good Michelle. You two are a great team.
Oh…and Happy Birthday Brady!
