Today was training day. It went very well. Tino did great, and I didn’t mess up the scent trail this time. The target dog, Roo, was hiding behind a hedge. Tino came to the end of the scent, and couldn’t find her at first. He looked around and worked it out. Roo played with him when he found her. Then we played fetch in the big field. Tino was dragging me down the hill fast, along the trails, and I thought my knees would be killing me, but they didn’t hurt at all. It’s weird. I can have severe knee pain when I take a tiny step wrong. Running downhill full speed, dragged by a 92 pound crazy German Shepherd, no pain at all. I don’t understand.
Fozzie did great on his turn. He did spend some time sniffing things unrelated to the scent trail, but mostly he kept working. When we got to the target dog, instead of going around the hedge, he just climbed through it to get to Roo. He liked Roo.
Roo tested very well for cats, okay for dogs. I think Roo could be a cat detection dog fairly soon.
It was cool, 50 to 52 degrees, and mostly cloudy. A pretty good day for training.
