I don't know if this has happened to anyone else on here when their other half decides that they would like to help with out on a training session but this is what my wife decided earlier this evening,
So i said come on then you can fire my new training pistol so i can give the young lab some marked retrieves so off we went , things started of fairly well although she needs practice at throwing the dummies i was thinking the dogs doing well for the 1st time at this exercise then after the sixth shot she shouts its empty holding the magazine up so i told the dog to stay and looked up and started walking towards her to reload just to see her throw the magazine away into the thickest undergrowth of bramble & nettles this stopped me in my tracks in disbelief after calming down decided to help her look for it all to no avail. we are sat here now with a house full of visitors laughing about it .
Has this or similar things happened to any one else and should i get a new training partner but then it might not be as much fun? .
I'd have sent the dog for it, got a better nose than me. Might qualify that a bit, I'd have sent the dog after the OG had received his positive punishment.
In life, it is important to know when to stop arguing with people and simply let them be wrong.
If at first you don't succeed .....find out if there is a booby prize !
