2yrs with Foster. So blessed. He's been an amazing little trail buddy. I don't know why he ended up with us. But we're thankful. He's sure filling that enormous hole left in my heart after Emma. Foster is here again at the Rathdrum mtn trail head. And he's not to happy to find this joker is still here as well!

This one goes out to Rick @Bestfreemoviefinderdotcom, who is always reminding us to be careful of who we follow! This is a newer trail system off our Rathdrum mtn. Foster and I have really been enjoying it. I keep him on leash until we get up a little way. Then I let freedom take over! And he's been doing so great with it. He was non to happy with Bigfoot at the trail head!

This is it! This is what we've been working towards. After 21 mos of walking, running, and lots of training, Foster is off leash in the mountains for the 1st time! I could not be more proud of this kid. You can see in the video that twice when I stopped walking, he stopped. With no voice command. On the second time, I actually knelt down and waiting for him, with quick voice command. As you can see, he came back on his own. His recall has improved so much! Much like all of us, Foster just needed a purpose and someone to believe in him.

1yr with Foster! This is one of our sports complexes in the area. It actually has a dog park along with about 4 different ball fields. It also is right next to our tiny airport. There is a lot of activity and has been perfect for training. Here Foster is showing that he definitely is not a fair weather dog. He's sitting on this snowy hill looking for lost sheep!

We are coming up on a year with Foster. Hoping that next year he'll be ready to check out new places. He's gained so much confidence in himself. It's sure been a lot of fun to watch.

More time off leash at the fenced parl. Worked more on his vocabulary. He actually didn't know any of the words you'd think this type of dog would: ball, walk, sit/stay/down, treat. We spent a lot of time here through the year.

Spending more time with Foster off leash. This park is fenced. So we spent a lot of time here through the year.

3 wks with Foster. I took him on 3 walks a day for those 3 wks, just getting used to each other. This was his 1st time off leash. Because he was a stray, this was huge for both of us. I do not feel he knew his new name at this point. I think he was just responding to my voice command. What a good kid.

This goes out to Rick @Bestfreemoviefinderdotcom & one of his followers, Reo. Thank you Rick for all you do for us. If you haven't checked Rick out here on Rumble, you're missing out! And Reo, I finally was able to get you a pic of Foster the Wonder Dog. I made this video in 2020 @ our 2 yr anniversary w/ Foster
