Now that another hunting season is over, I thought I should drop you a line and let you know how Kacy worked out this year. I am happy to say that she did very well.
Although still apprehensive about being around guns, once we started downing ducks, she began showing what your training had accomplished. She still has not picked up on sighting the birds as well as I would like, but she improved over the season and I am working on it with her.
As far as the retrieving is concerned, when she did see a bird fall, she was on it in no time. Her obedience really paid off when we went checking potholes.
Is she perfect? Far from it. But considering what she was when I brought her to you - gun shy, people shy and no confidence in herself - she is now a totally different dog. She is really begining to enjoy hunting and working in the field. I'm looking forward to many more successful hunting seasons with Kacy.
