20140220 Fozzie Training
This scent trail for Frankie the Dachshund had aged 24
hours. This was the first trail in the
dark for Fozzie. From the start, Fozzie
did not seem to focus on the task at hand.
He missed two turns, and at one point in the middle, he just stopped
searching all together. He just stood
there nibbling at the grass, and it took over a minute of prompting for him to
resume the scent trail. This was a sharp
contrast to other recent training sessions.
In the past, he has always been focused, motivated, and intent. This night, he followed most of the trail
okay, but it was an afterthought.
In the last block, he showed enthusiasm and drive. He enjoyed playing with Frank and Harley when
he found them. I can’t explain his lack
of effort. The conditions were perfect
for scent trailing, and it was only 24 hours old, so it should not have been
difficult. The trail was 1.68 miles long, on pavement, grass, and trails.
