- 10th of June - Our second day of Rescue training started very early like always... and at 7:00 we were already in Leiria! We started with basic obedience training, then went to climb very difficult obstacles and for the end the dogs had to find "victims" in the woods and bark to call up their handlers/ owners, to let them know where they were with the "victim". Our camera didn't work so we didn't had the chance to take many photos, gladly for us there were others doing it and we manage to have permission to use some of our Goldie.

Goldie starting to clime the stairs... First floor, Very Good!! Last floor! Well done! All these exercises, and the others that we didn't took pictures of, were done two times each. Always trying to learn from mistakes, to teach the handler how to improve, to help the dog understand better the exercise and to also help him overcome all the steps with no fear. Going down now, but never jumping, always going slowly, all the way.   In this last exercise Ricardo played the victim and Musky had to find him, bark after so that Miguel could find them both.

- 20th of May -Our first day with UCAS Rescue Dog Group. It was very fun and instructive. All the girls came along and stood there, very attentive wile Goldie trained along with the Rescue dogs .We can't wait for the second day there!!!

The first part consists on making the dog enthusiastic about an object.	Really enthusiastic!!!	Then Ricardo run away with it and hide himself in the bushes.

Where is he with my dummy...?	I wasn't fast enough and when I took the picture she had already found him!!!!	Again, second time!!!

Ricardo hiding again!	Well, have to improve my pictures skills... no Goldie running again!!! Only Fred after her!!!	Here they come after Goldie finding Ricardo happy with the dummy!!!
