He's a very clever dog and I suspect it won't take him long to figure out that if he puts the ball in the machine it'll fly out again for him. Would live to see him do that😃.

You guys need some tools…gas powered hedge trimmer would make quick work of things like vines on garage roof and with all of the discarded vine material, rent a Chipper to mulch all of that material down to a minimum! Maybe a decent Pressure Washer as well for all kinds of cleaning jobs. Again a gas powered machine 3000 psi would be awesome. Just some thoughts.

Haha, OMGosh so cute when you whistled and the two looney fur angels came flying over. They nearly tripped over one another! You are a good whistler, that's something I cannot do. Gil, great work clearing away that tree suffocating the outbuilding. The ball launcher will make those pups sleep well at the end of the day, haha. I don't know if this tip will help for Winston's training but here it is. Years ago we trained our fox terrier/beagle puppy to ring a bell (hung at his nose height) so he could advise us when he needed to go outside to urinate - no barking or clawing at the door. The day we brought him home for the first time at 8 weeks old, I held his little body and let his nose touch the bell gently until it swung and rang, then immediately took him outside and sat him on the grass so he'd connect the bell with sitting on grass outside. It only took a few times in a couple of hours and suddenly we heard the bell ring - he did it himself - and we took him out and he went to the washroom. That dog never ever clawed at the door or barked to go out - only rang the bell! Perhaps if Gil picks up Winston with ball in his mouth - Winston's mouth, not Gil's, haha, and stands him over the launcher to DROP the ball in, he'll associate the launching ball with himself dropping it inside. Worth a try! Good luck.

I loved this installment. The go-pro view starting 3:30 reminds me of why I hate ladder work -- excellent videography. As other commenters have noted, the back side of the outbuilding is going to be a problem until you're able to remove the growth from the base on that side. I have a similar situation with my property. Fortunately my neighbors in my urban neighborhood are fine with me going on their property to remove the ivy and undergrowth along the base. Perhaps whomever owns that property will be similarly receptive. I've never needed anything more than a friendly conversation.

Winston seems to understand by the second time you put the ball into the launcher what it will do. He clearly anticipates the launch. He is not accustomed to returning the ball directly into your hand so making the connection of dropping the ball into the launcher will take some training but I'm sure he'll be motivated to do it once he understands what he must do to make it work.

I told my husband I was going to watch you rip ivy off your old out building, and he said, "Why would you want to watch that?" LOL...we spend last weekend removing ivy from our old (1950s) cement block workshop and (1930s) garage in preparation for tent fumigation for termites which are horrible here in Southern California. That's how I know ivy can turn into a tree. I'm curious how much space there might be between the back of your outbuildings and the property line. Our garage is three inches, which was code when it was built, but now a 15 foot setback is required. "Grandfather" clause allows it to stay unless we want to tear down and rebuild. Now that you are living there regularly, it should be easier to keep up with the ivy, which will grow back. A few sprays of climbing rose over the fence would be pretty, but ivy is evil. I'm sure Gil will get a lot more work done now that doggies have a way to play ball on their own. Good thing you don't have Border Collies, or they might re-engineer the toy into a rocket launcher, lol.

We’d absolutely love to put a carriage there. Mind you, at the moment it’s under about two feet of water, whatever system they had to keep the trackbed dry has long since given up!

Thank you!😊 There’s a business on the other side but there is a chain link fence about a foot behind the wooden fence which is the boundary. If we get the wooden fence down we should have pretty good access to the back so we can get the weeds at the base.

Teach him to hand you the ball then put your hand over the ball launcher, fade out your hand. If you can set it to random distance so he doesn’t always know how far it’s going to go

So please you got him a self ball launcher, He knew something was going to happen with the machine lol, I love his enthusiasm for a ball you gotta love dogs x Lean to roof looks good, are you keeping that wooden section with the build or will that get a more substantial finish to it?
@theoldstationrenovation
@theoldstationrenovation 3 ай бұрын
We’re keeping the structure but it’ll be built more substantially and the plan is to have a bedroom there🤞🤞. Winston loves his ball launcher, he just needs to learn how to drop the ball in himself! 😆

Looks like most of the brambles or whatever it is, is on the neighbor's side. So you'll likely want to talk to them about trimming their side of the fence otherwise they'll grow back next year. And it looks like Winston loves his ball launcher, he just needs to figure out how to do it on his own.

@theoldstationrenovation 3 ай бұрын
There’s a chain link fence about a foot behind the fence so it looks like we have a little extra space for me to get behind to sort those brambles out once and for all!

We noticed that there is a chain link fence about a foot behind the wooden fence so I’m guessing that’s the actual boundary. At some point we’ll get it down and take care of the plants at ground level.
