Recall Races by the Labraduo

Our black dog joined me and Shyla for a mountain bike ride today.
When I have both halves of our Labraduo with me, I start our ride with some recall races to remind them that they must come when called.
R, being wiser than Shyla, knows that blocking is a key part of winning these recall races. Look at Shyla's eyes peeking from behind him in this race. He won, thanks to his blocking maneuver.
After three years of being "blocked" during races, Shyla is finally finding the confidence to use the maneuver on R!

The next photo was a recall later in our ride. It was the first "block" I've ever seen Shyla use.
She won by a stride!
Here's what R has to say about Shyla adopting his strategy!
Happy Sunday!

    Always a surprise to the older sibling when the younger one begins to learn the tricks. Adorable photographs.

    Too funny!!! They may try to bump each other out of the winning spot, but it is easy to see how nicely they are bonded!
