Mar 31 & Apr 1

Am addressing the simply fact that Fletch is a country dog and rarely experiences an urban environment.

Mar 31: Roses shopping center, Carter Park, Wegmans. All straight and run fresh. Scuffed past scent markers with food beyond. Start and end articles only.

Result: excellent. Clear improvement in skills of short contaminated grass.

April 1: Ashland Elementary school. 2 straight tracks, very sparse cover. Ran fresh. Intentionally passed light poles, scuffed past and food after.

Result: better than yesterday! Did stop once to pee but resumed tracking immediately when interrupted. After that ignored all scent posts. No problem with sparse cover, dead on, no casting.

Plan: continue same plan, add up to one hour age. Add straight NV track to the mix.

At no time today was he curious about the environment.
