Foundation Work

As previously said, Luther has a rock solid foundation on which Charles is building. I love to watch Charles work Luther. Charles is totally absorbed and his movements combined with Luther's is like watching a beautiful dance. Here are a series of photos in sequence with the casting. See what I mean?

Yard Work

Today was a great day...We got to visit Luther! We arrived in NC before 8 A.M. in time to watch Charles work Luther with his daily "yard work". This is about a 20 minute session of obedience, drills and casting. Charles has a special way with the dogs and pays close attention to every detail of the dog's focus and performance. It's been fantastic that Lauren Hall Koch and Charles and Jim Elam use the same Mike Lardy Total Retriever method of training. Everything Luther had been taught prior to coming to Lake Country Retrievers has given him a solid foundation for his work now.
