I decided yesterday that I'm going to make Kenzi look for her frisbee before she gets to play with it. The idea being that I can get her used to the idea of searching for her reward. This way I can hopefully build her search drive even when I'm just working with her by myself.
She seems to be catching on quickly. I stuck her frisbee in the weeds 3 different times this morning and each time she actively looked for it, caught the scent and enthusiastically grabbed it to play.

This blog will (hopefully!) help me keep track of the progress I make training my young Border Collie, Kenzi. She came to me through Border Collie Rescue in late September '09 as a bright, energetic 10 month old pup. Currently we are working on basic manners and obedience as well as foundation training to become a SAR dog. She is a fun, smart pup who really keeps my on my toes!
