13.6 miles Keys to Snickers

Terrific weather and beautiful setting. 

Bracework buddy

The boys enjoyed the run and each had a terrific honor.

Appomatox camp 2024

Another great training week!

Different trainer needed for GSP

I wanted a bird dog to get better at training a different sort of dog and Boozie's brain does work differently than other sorts of dogs I have had the pleasure of training. I was certainly helped by many experienced trainers and many folks with a good eye but we now have change of positions so well in many different settings that we even did it in a pool this morning. :)

Switchbacks and lessons for the future

Did 26 miles Sat and Sun. Ankles a bit sore but otherwise good. Future miles will need to leave vehicle at the end as there is too little connectivity for coordination on the fly.

12.4 AT work today

Still figuring out how to best plan and messed up at the start so went from Damascus to Tenn then back to Damascus and on to my ending for the day.

Boozie did some nice work on a beautiful day in warm but not oppressive heat. It was especially impressive since he was paired with an inexperienced handler who left him in a kennel for the prior 10 days (as I was out of the country). 

Huge thank you to Poconos Mountain chapter and the judges.
