Tracking

Southside this Sunday morning, Ann brought Basco and Kay tracked Loki.

Aron ran a good track or 3 legs each approx 150yrds, inorder to make it all fit the corners were a little tighter than 90deg ending up with an almost triangle shaped track.

Madison ran a fairly quick u shaped short track, of course cleaning up the food every 25 paces or so.

We had a good session at Port Royal School Saturday.

I have been waiting for Aron to try a shortcut on the blinds after weeks of flawless running and today was the day I was ready for. He was stopped, made to follow the correct pattern and after a couple more trys freed back up and was running smoothly.

Obedience

It was a quiet night at Vesey St. Ann brought Basco.

I worked Aron in heeling and voraus. He seems to have picked up a hesitation in the Voraus from somewhere. I'm not sure how but just about every other send out he stopped about 50ft out in a dead still stand waiting..... not sure what for. We seem to have gotten over it but it was a bit confusing I must admit. I just pulled him backwards to the starting position for that send out and sat him, fused him and did it again. He eventually ran through wide full open again.

Protection

Light rain showers came off and on throughout this afternoons training session at Port Royal School. Ann trained Basco, Jermaine worked Capone, William Welton brought both Kiara and Errol, Jeanette brought Nancy and Jojo worked both Nero and Gunner.

Aron did well running 6 blinds very cleanly and quickly twice in each session. In the last run he did a nice hold and bark, not his strongest ever but good, a clean call out back to heel, and a super strong escape bite.

Fairly quick session at Vesey St tonight. Ann worked Basco, Jojo worked both Nero and Gunner.

Aron worked soe heeling and basic in motion stuff. I was tired so I didnt push the complex stuff. Madison did real well with some heeling, recalls and in motion exercises.

Tracking

It was a good morning at Southside. Ann tracked Basco on 3 tracks, Kay tracked Loki.

Aron ran his track well. It was 300yrds, 3 corners, 3 articles, I was between 15-30' back on the leash. The conditions were very difficult for us. It was quite dry and windy so you couldnt see the track from behind. He ended up just off a couple times and I couldnt see it right away.
