    First and third turns were kind of wild—he thought you should go earlier than you did (good choice on your part)—and so he tried other directions. When you wouldn’t support the wrong way, he came back and very clearly said “follow me.” And the next three turns—you were GOING to follow. Can you see how this is making him easier to read? You are letting him tell you, rather than taking most of the responsibility yourself. Duration is good for next one, as few turns as possible (1?), and I might reinforce the start with food (30-40 yards in), and then if you want to go a distance (?250-300y) without food (no turns in that section), SP with jackpot, and then food maybe every 50 for the last 200-300 yards.

    I know it’s mucky out there, his articles might be softening a bit…so think about when they come into the rotation. The rotation isn’t set in stone—if something isn’t looking stellar, move it up to next, and then pick up where you left off. I’m might consider a rotation of starts-duration-starts-articles-stairstep-articles-stairstep-duration—keep stairstep & articles a bit more frequent, and the next stairstep is all about being close and limited his search to keep him precise.

    I think a blind, 3 turn track with some scuff augmentation and food after the first 2 legs might be a good weekend plan w Andrea!

    Please make sure that you are following an “educate” day with a “motivate” day. I worry you’re trying a bit too hard, and pushing him a bit too much. You’re the trainer…just know that you won’t see the fallout right away….it will bite you later. Sorry to be a downer…

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

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.
