Protection

It was a great afternoon at Port Royal School. Jojo brought GUnner, Ann had Basco, Mark and Jeannette brought Cesear and Nancy, and William brought Kiara and Errol.

I started Aron with a complete Sch2 protection routine. The blinds werent completely clean, he had a geart hold and bark in the blind, his call out was fast and clean, the escape was fast and clean, out to hold and bark was good, reattack and drive was good, out again was good but he was a little slow to start the barking. Sit and back transport was good. Reattack was fast, out was good, escort was good. Long bite was good but he slowed a little in the last couple strides. Final out and escort was good.

On the second trip out we focused on his focus during the open field hold and bark. With Jermaine on a long line if he even glanced away for a split second Jojo made miss and backed up for a new revier. I approached from various angle, clapping, stomping and even eventually cracking a whip. He learned it quickly and after a couple iterations was unshakeable.

Madison ran through a blind search and a couple good hold and barks and she was done for the day. It was all just too much effort...
