1/19/25. Short tracks around fences and woods
1/19/25. Laid these short tracks one at a time, ran him within 5 minutes and put him in the car to marinate while I laid the next one. Food drops varied between 10-15 steps apart. He got better with each track. Track #1. Struggled at the turn into tall cover https://youtu.be/imxw4lYuoHA?feature=shared Track #2 short track from tall cover to short towards fence https://youtu.be/bA4Q4ZZpGu4?feature=shared Track #3 Between 2 fences towards woods https://youtu.be/R9EverPLGJ8?feature=shared Track #4 Parallel woods and turn away https://youtu.be/88B4jnpOJYc?feature=shared
Sorry for the delay, we didn’t have internet or cell service yesterday…. So, you just got to see what Dewey is going to look like when he’s ’done.’ That was fantastic! I actually thought yesterday was pretty good too, and I like that you laughed. Laughter shows relaxation, which is good for both of you—if you’re relaxed enough to laugh, it’s unlikely you’re getting super serious and putting pressure on him. I suspect the tall grass did help today, and that’s great—he gained confidence! So go ahead and try the shorter grass again, or, put in the same track you ran today again, but backwards, so he gets to practice L, L…and then take him to shorter grass. He’s showing some impressive desire to be precise, and yesterday, when he found the first turn, he was not to be denied!
