Well.............."Triumph" might be a slight exaggeration. But I'm ecstatic!
Molly has finally retrieved a toy in the park. YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
We taught her in the house first and today she finally took it into her head to transfer her genius into the open air. She's still doing it for food rewards rather than for the joy of playing with her toys, but we're finally taking baby steps to turning our retriever dog into a dog who retrieves.
