Seems that I am always apologizing for not writing here on my blog, well this will not be an exception. Life has been really busy lately as I have returned back to work after being off for 5 weeks. In addition, last week I was sick and in bed for 3 days with something horrible that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Sadly the training has been cut back a lot due to returning to work and my work hours changing, however, there have been three trainings that a few of us have attended that I have not written about, most recently was yesterday.
Storm is still having issues with his recall, and we are trying to work hard on that. Basically a recall is when the dog finds someone, he needs to come back to the handler and notify them that he has found someone. Storm gets a reward from the person he finds in training and is so excited about getting it that he doesn't want to leave them. It is quite a bit of training, and something that will require a bit of practice. Right now Storm is more than capable of finding lost people with very little difficulty. and he approved it again on Saturday.
The two previous trainings we were also focused on recall, with similar results, mediocre. I just need to work harder with him and get him motivated in some way to come back.
