Cody begins his first day in Casper with some early morning cardio vascular training conducted by Grandma.

Next it is out to the field where Chuck takes over the training with some retrieving practice. (Dummy is complete with pheasant scent.)

Cody has had extensive training in this area and performs well.

Next we need to determine if Cody is gun shy. (We could also use a little target practice ourselves.)

We quickly determine Cody is not gun shy and Chuck needed the practice. (Me too.)

Cody poses while waiting for the next phase of training.

First, Cody cools his paws and gets a drink. (Hey, it's good enough for the cows.)

This phase involved pursuit of live critters. (Prairie dog not pictured.)

Cody displays his problem solving skills.

Finally training day comes to an end, it was enjoyed by all. Now it's time to rest up for the big day.
