Very hard to believe that today is only March 18th. The weather today started out kind of iffy with pretty heavy fog and a slight chill but around 10:30 it burned off and the sun came out. It reached about 70 at Hickory Run State Park where we had K9 training today.
Storm handled one of his biggest search problems yet today and he hung in there like a trooper and never gave up. The wind was constantly changing on me while we were in the woods and he never really had an advantage at all until we were literally on top of our subject. He did appear to catch some scent in a specific area, and we focused our search in that general direction which led to the find. He did finally find his subject, but I was disappointed in his bark to let me know he had found someone. It is obvious that it is an area that we will still need to work on.
Storm did get to put his new search vest to good use. It fit him well but it has some room for improvement on my side with the materials I used as the edge piping didn't hold up very well. I'll have to find something a little more durable.
