Summer of ‘24 #23

 9/24 9:45 64 degrees Light rain and mist Today’s goal: distance

Started near the roadway. Came in at an angle and he took the “turn” to set off down the track. (Bison bits every 10.)  Had several opportunities to see and recognize off the track behavior ie head up, checking environment then back to the track. On the second leg he got  a “leave it” as there were deer droppings proximate to the track. He did decide to go on the track and hopefully I made it worth his while at the end article.

    That’s not the neighbor’s place we used to use? Looks similar! Things to play with….it looks like there might be an opening at the very top, between the purple tree and the tree line—if so, take Otis through there! Also, a ?path? From the yard around the house to the ?outbuilding? If so, another good thing to take Otis across. You’ve put good time in with him….now start, slowly and methodically, letting him learn to follow the track wherever it goes. Short, easy challenges, with reinforcement on the far side!

 Great start! True to track. 1st leg was laid within 8 feet of a woods line. Heavy steps into and out of turns allowed me to add to what I record in my visual memory of his loss of scent behaviors. I will repeat this 2 turn track with 20 heavy steps into and out of both turns. FD at 10 after end of each set of heavy steps. FD pattern at 10 and 14. Article indication pick up at end of track. Water offered and taken. [At the beach through 11/6. Next track 11/7]

 Best day today! Lots of enthusiasm and super turns. At the turns I gave him extra line and he made each turn spot on I thought. I was especially pleased there was one very small (!) whine. Otis did not get drawn into the brush pile. He had a strong pull throughout. Taking his 15 foot line to the beach (away now until 3/21) Hoping to find a small green space for at least some fun starts and article tracks. https://youtu.be/k3Gfdi_9y4c    https://youtube.com/shorts/RUIr-wQi66I

Fall #12

 Today’s track goal was distance/duration. This straight line track was the longest he had ever done at 414 yards. It was windy blowing across the track. The wind did take Otis off a bit consistently to the right but the food drops at 15 and 20 always brought him back to right on. His start was strong without bucking. He tracked with energy and managed passing a roll hay bale with little more than an extra sniff and leg raise before getting back to work. I did put a larger food drop in the track beyond the bale. Otis stopped briefly at a major change in cover (photo) When he started in the right direction I quickly went with him. He loved the tall weeds, Spanish needles and high grass! His tracking was even stronger. I assume the length was holding more scent? There was evidence of quite a few bedding down areas most likely for deer. Put one of the 3 intermediate articles in this area and Otis was right on. Retrieves were high energy today. I was so pleased with the way Otis handle...
