Find the arrow, Torrey
Find the arrow, Torrey
Back in June, we were camping in a place were we could get out our bows and practice some primitive archery. We have always joked about teaching Torrey to find the arrows, and renting her out at rendezvous. So in one evening, we taught her to find the arrows in the tall grass. She caught on extremely fast, and had a blast doing it. Since then, we haven’t been anywhere we could shoot our bows. Until now. We arrived at the site of the Ft. Bridger rendezvous a few days early. It’s nice to get here before the masses of people arrive. I wanted to see if Torrey still remembered what she had learned 2 months ago, would she remember to find the arrows. And I am pleased to say, the answer is yes. As soon as I got my bow out she knew what we were going to play. I on purpose shoot the arrows all over, then tell her to “find them”. (I accidently shot these two close together)
Off she goes, and one after another she finds the arrows. If she can, she gets the fletching ever so slightly in her mouth, and then finds the next one. If they are buried deep in the tall grass, she makes sure I know were it is.
Lost of people shoot archery at this event, and lots of people lose arrows in this tall grass. Do you think I should rent her out?
What a great project for her and time saver for you!
Well done to Torrey and bet you could rent her out. What a fun pastime for you all to enjoy together. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
she’s smart and beautiful and talented. but be safe, little lady! quivers about!
What a clever and useful trick! And what a bonus that Torrey loves the job so much!
Torrey is such a great smart beautiful Doggie gal. I throw anything and my dogs just go, “where did it go?”, ” What was that”? Yesterday I brought the dog kids inside and told them we were gonna go on walk about and they raced to the back door and would race back to me repeatly, jumping and so excited. WE went for a nice walk up the hill with no mesquitos! Yeah!!!I had to let out their harness a bit. Have fun at Bridger. Sad we aren’t there but now we are free to move on from now on. Yippee!
Absolutely! Just make sure no one’s still got arrows to shoot mom’s worried about Torrey getting hurt! Love Dolly
How smart is that. I’ll can imagine she likes it very much.
Torrey is so smart!
I shot an arrow into the air
It fell to earth, I knew not where
But Torrey found it!

YAY Torrey!!!! Great job!
Torry is a smart dog! I do hope she stays safe. Have a happy weekend!
Great job Torrey!!But be careful… in case they really rent you out to find arrows!! Haha!
What a clever girl you are Torrey :)
Dogs never forget…anything!…:)JP
Awesome job Torrey! She is really good!! Yeah…maybe you should consider renting her out!! Happy Weekend to you guys!!
That is so cool Torrey! You are such a smart girl :)
Definitely rent her out if she’d enjoy it, being an Aussie I bet she would. She’s got a great talent there it should be shared around. :)
How great that she caught on so quickly, and then remembered it as well after two months! I think you could make a little extra income there…I’m always telling my dogs they need to get a job! LOL
I bet Torrey loves having a fun job like that!!!! We ran into non-primitive hunting archers yesterday, and they were NOT nice. I guess that they were mad that we were scaring away the deer as I rode and Shyla ran on a trail… I have to admit that I don’t like the hunting seasons.
