Gusto & Fletch training log

Another VST light, this time at Chick. MS. 61 degrees, sunny, gusty wind, 10mph, 53% RH, dew point 44 degrees. 45 minutes old. Goal: Turns around buildings, and entry onto NV with article to reinforce that decision. Outcome: Strong start, had difficulty with random smells near the trees. Did some marking at various places along the track, but is willing to move on if pushed. Appeared to find first turn in building corner, but was reticent to take it, did on second go ar

Rare event, tracked 2 days in a row. Was at Hanover HS/Oak Knoll MS for someone else….so decided to do a little “VST light” with Fletch. This was about 30” old. All NV was augmented with water. The section he struggled with makes sense to me, combination of probable swirling scents and well peed upon shrubs, when he found his way out, his re-establishment of tracking behavior was very clear. https://youtu.be/R5VUl28VsHE?si=jXIutUJpQnbKY3VH

Repeated Tuesday’s tracks in a different location in the fields, and with almost no wind. Totally different dog! I am not drawing any conclusions from this, except maybe he is now more comfortable in freshly cut soy. https://youtu.be/y94ClypEx8A?si=Mouceq_49d74DL6L https://youtu.be/jqxwsGIGBIE?si=n8ctehPKyKcXfRtV https://youtu.be/V9XJ3ljWQ3Q?si=4zdTde4PtKBdRn2t
