Fall #11

 Tracking again tomorrow after a day off today BUT before I got up this morning I was lying in bed remembering yesterday and our article games at the end. I think Otis has a good retrieve indication but I wanted to put even more fun and joy into it! Thought of a game to do on our farm walk today. Otis, when we start, usually takes big loops around the field. That gave me time to drop 3 articles on the path we always come up when we come out. Fast forward as we’re leaving and heading up that path (he’s always ahead of me) he saw an article, stopped and looked back at me, threw it up in the air, caught it and ran back to me presenting it as he does at the end of the track. I had pocketed high value food before we left. So he got that and we both had so much fun! He turned around, saw another and ran back with it then whirled  around I think to see if there was another, which there was. What a great time we had! Looking forward to thinking of more ways to ⬆️ the joy.

    I am grinning from ear to ear! YES, that joy—without that joy, there is no reason to play. And likely, not a title either. If the dog isn’t having fun…. Great job Emaline. Thank you for embracing the JOY

 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...
