Sandhills

Last Thursday, Ms. Beth took Jackson and me out to the Clemson Sandhills REC facility. It's a beautiful, wide open space, and there are lots of walking trails out there too!! We met up with my friend Stitch, and we had the best time playing, running and jumping! Even Jackson was super excited !!!

A train went by while were playing, but I didn't even notice it! Ms. Beth was worried that it might scare me, but nothing could stop me and Stitch from all of fun we were having together! It's fun to play with the Setters at home, but sometimes I just really like to play with other dogs my size ;)

This weekend was a big training weekend, as it is just one week before the Greater Columbia Obedience Club (GCOC) trial on Mother's Day weekend. Jackson is competiting in 3 different classes, so Ms. Beth was working him a lot at the training building, along with lots of other people who came down for the "Paws on the Mat" event. She took me along too so that I could practice spending some time learning good "kennel manners" and learning to be by myself for short periods of time.

She has also started letting me learn the "sit", "down" and "follow" commands. I am really enjoying all of this learning stuff, because when I get it right, Ms. Beth gives me a hotdog treat!! YUMMY!!!!!

Jackson has his picture on the wall at the training building because he earned the "GCOC Rally Dog of the Year Award" in 2007. Jackson says that Rally is super fun and that Ms. Beth really likes it. I hope that I can be an awesome Rally dog just like Jackson :)
