    air scenting or looking around? i'm not sure which. but for me, this should be his last snow track. he has had a good experience, we know he can do it, now stop before he becomes more visual than we would like.

    At 1:02…can you see him saying, “damn it. It was easier in the snow.”? The peeing was totally a “damn it” moment! So today you got to see why I don’t train a lot in the snow. Snow is EASY PEASY. And it’s not because they can see it! Be prepared…he’s got some tough days ahead as this melts and he has to go back to the “hard” grass. Double walk. Add food. Get him back in the grass game. And 100% what MAM said—no more snow for him. Your handling/long line use was simply stellar. Well done. And he gets a well deserved break until your tracking areas are 80% grass, 20% snow. And then, for all that is holy, make them easy and reinforcing!

1/19/25. Short tracks around fences and woods

Image
 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

2/27/25. Blind Hangman at PSP

Image
 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.
