"By george she got it!"

 I took Molly to her class Weds & she was doing pretty good but when we broke up to practice dumbbell work I was having trouble getting her to focus on me........she was too busy being nosy & watching what all the other dogs were doing.  After that we were going to practice the jumps & I just concentrated on getting Molly to jump over the high jump & then turn around & jump back over to me.  My instructor came over & said why don't you throw the dumbbell & I was like "Are you kidding I can't even get her to pick it up!"  Tammy looked at me & said "What to you have to lose?"

(To understand what we are teaching them watch here)

I figured she's right lets go for it!  I set Molly up, threw the dumbbell over the jump & she jumped over, picked it up, turned & jumped back over & ran & sat in front of me holding it like she had been doing it all her life!

I swear to god this dog learns by watching what the other dogs do!
