Goal: Left and right turns, one turn each track, left first. Want him to learn that turns can go either way, and to check both sides


S10W5F3 R6, L turn, S10 w F q2, W5, F3, and resume that pattern. Then did the same thing to the right.


Lovely start, is reliably looking for food at the first flag, and maintains that nose down behavior for most of the track. Two episodes of stopping to look around, quickly went right back to the track, driving forward. First turn was left, what we practiced last, and he took it without hesitation. Dropped on article. Tugged to start of next track. Again, looked for food at the flag (need to consider starting to move it out), immediately took track, beautiful LOS at about 4 feet past first turn, circled right, wasn’t searching as much as I’d like, but did find the leg and took it hard. Dropped on article.


Next, same thing with first track turning right. Will play with leg lengths and scuff walk pattern before adding 2 turns to a track. And mull over moving the first food drop……

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 i
