bryan Park. 79 degrees, 79% humidity. One turn track. Goal: distractions (Fletch). 65X40, double laid, food q10-15.


His head exploded almost immediately, squirrels!!šŸæļø. Walked towards start, he saw the flag and seemed excited. Indicated start article, then very focused on all the smells. Started weakly, hit a food drop and got more serious. 4 blue jays flew over and screamed at us, followed by a motorcycle with a dog in the case on the rear seat, barking. He checked it all out and returned to work. Pawed at intermediate article and looked around. Dropped on cue. Nice restart, gorgeous turn. Started to get distracted, smelled a treat, finding it refocused him. Tracked beautifully up the hill, pawed at but otherwise ignored metal article.


I got exactly what I hoped for—he mostly worked in a very stimulating environment. He needs lots more of this. And his VST type articles SUCK.


I was super happy with the double laid aspect and the rate of food drops.

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
