Karma and I have found very very small strawberry plants (like the Alaskan wild strawberries I used to have in the yard) at rest stops along the highway and in the RV park. She can’t seem to pick the berries, so I pull them and feed her. She loves them but then as a lab she loves everything that goes into her mouth.
We have been doing Karma’s ball chase exercise on large field besides roads or local schools with little or no fencing. After 10-15 throws, she’s tired of racing full speed as far out as she wants to wait for my throw with the chucker. We have always been practicing the “recall” behavior with her but our success rate was iffy. Especially if a cat, kid, or other dog was distracting/attracting her. But we keep practicing. Lately, after her runs I say we are ready to go and she comes over to be harassed and lead to the truck. Recently, I had left her truck door open. So, I just said go get in the truck . . . and she did!!!! Either she’s growing up or was totally exhausted/thirsty and didn’t want to fight the command.
