blue caught the frisbee for the first time today. i was one proud papa. even better than that, he started bringing it back. it's like he understands that it's more fun to chase a frisbee than it is for me to chase him. while that game is fun, chasing the frisbee and getting rewarded when you bring it back is more fun. i've read that border collies have this insane desire to please, and i'm starting to see that.
i've also just about trained him to walk beside me instead of pulling me. we even managed to walk by a flock of geese without him getting distracted. when they flew off he got sidetracked, but still, that's a huge improvement. i've decided he learns really fast, i just have to find the right motivation.
one more final and then a month of nothing!
