2/27/25. Blind Hangman - phone view https://youtu.be/eGHwtjU4ANI?feature=shared At 1:29 I saw the head turn and he looked back at me so I slowed down and put a little pressure on the line. Go Pro view https://youtu.be/QFmWaBCJbFs?feature=shared Great head turn and stare at me at 1:37, 1:38. I think I should have stopped instead of slowed down?? 60 degrees, gusts up to 29 mph, 46% humidity Laid at 9:25, ran at 10:40ish Good start, good articles, stayed with track The random gloves that were 5 yds past the end of the hangman drew him forward and then he is used to continuing on straight after finding an article, so he went straight on. Andrea stopped us and then we did the back up routine until he found the leg. I was happy with our overall performance.
And with an audience!!! Wow, that was gorgeous. Can you see his confidence building? Ok…we’ve come so far, I don’t want to overlook something. We need to fade the SP flags, and the turn flag. Washers with some surveyor tape on them, tossed a foot off the track? Or lay the flags down? I see zero indication that he’s flag watching, but I also don’t want to take the chance. Cuz I’m ready to start playing with distance between SP, but want to fade flags first.
ReplyDeleteLet’s try 3 turns again. Feel free to take smaller steps on the third leg, even though you’re double walking it.
Wait....did my comments not publish? OK. I liked track 1, certainly not as awesome as track 2, but so much better than where we were! He is turning confidently--looking for the scent, and then taking it. I love the confidence we are seeing--he's digging in with those rear legs and demanding you follow--and he is on the track when he does it!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what happened to original posts...but they were written as I watched the video and I was very impressed! Lets fade flags! And try a third leg again.
