Dawn and Penny passed their Orange Star test today! Dawn introduced a new twist to her Orange Star test - the training of article indication. Penny has been trained to lay down upon finding an article dropped by the tracklayer. While they were tracking, Penny found two articles dropped by Dawn, with a beautiful down-in-place that was "fast, close, and straight." I have seen trained Schutzhund dogs that only wished they were that well trained! Congratulations!
Janet and Pepper rejoined us after an extended absence due to illness. Unfortunately I didn't get to see their first track; Janet arrived early to train so she could meet another obligation. Janet reported that she and Pepper were a little rusty. Here's hoping we get to see them next weekend, and in the future!
Lorril and Dottie tracked with their usual enthusiasm this morning. Dottie once again displayed her unique way of "indicating" the end of the track: Her tail wags so hard it literally swings all the way from one hip to the other! It's always fun to watch her find the treasure trove at the end of the track.
See you next Sunday,
Dave
