Outing at Blackhawk Plaza

Yesterday, Reyna went on an club outing with my husband, Tony. The outing started out with all of the raisers switching dogs, then they drove over to Blackhawk Plaza. This gave the pups a chance to ride in a different vehicle. Part of this outing was that you could not work your own dog. This teaches the dog to be responsive to all handlers. Lynn worked with Reyna.

Reyna is about it give Lynn a big kiss.  She just loves Lynn!
As you can tell, Reyna did not mind at all working with Lynn. Reyna loves her! When they arrived at the Plaza, the group walked around the Plaza and they took the dogs into several stores.
