Hi y'all!
Today has been a busy day for me and my red furry dog. I laid out a blood trail in the morning and then we took a walk and also trained some fetching. Zorro had the focus however still on the blood trail since he sat in the car while I went out in the forest to make it, so he had some trouble focusing on fetching the dummy I'd laid out for him. But at least I know now what to practise on; making Zorro used to switch from one thing to another.
The blood trailing went excellent! I could really not have wished for anything better. If he does this good on the real test in April, which I hope to participate in, the first prize will be within our reach! But until then we're gonna practise as much as possible on blood trailing. Next time will be on either thursday or friday, depening on how I decide to make it. Tomorrow we're going to Ala to train some fetching with Sara Neogard, it's gonna be awesome! We hope to get ready for Working Test and compete at the Toller Special event in August this year, but first we need, or I need, to learn how it all works, how we're gonna schedule the training etc. But it's always nice with a goal, don't you agree? ^^
