Tracked with Nimrod on 12/01/24. An unmitigated disaster. I don't know if I should have given him a day off after tracking class, if he was still recovering from the ravages of antibiotics that treated his clostridium and giardia infection, (The vet said he was no longer contagious), or if it was the unseen dog barking at him, (Always Nimrod's kryptonite). I laid the track FD every five shuffle steps and then FD after two normal steps, article at the end of track, no food at the terminal flag. Nimrod just stood there, head up, tail down, looking around. I have video which I will try to post. I tried to wait him out. No go. I indicated the first food drop. He went for it, then stood there head up, tail down. I indicated the next food drop. He went for it, then stood there. We limped to the end of the track in this fashion. He nosed the glove. (No big achievement here. He noses/mouths every McDonald's cup, Popeye's food container, plastic bag and straw we encounter...
Heidi, that looks great! Just FYI, that’s tough cover, and he’s committed to the job at hand. He’s meticulously finding each food drop—exactly what we want to see. Make the next set longer! He looks great. Keep the food drops the same—-don’t space them out more yet
ReplyDeleteyes his nose is down and he is motoring along! let's see 40 yds, then 50, then 60 - never looking back!!
