Tracking Connor

Connor is back to “normal” with his tracking – he’s really enjoying it. He’s been nose down, right on the line tracking every since our failed certification attempt last month. I believe he’s not certifying because of the pressure and the bad emotional feelings he’s had at that location when we’ve failed the last three times.

I like it better when Connor’s happy about doing something, and that’s the way he’s been in training. Therefore, I think I’ve given up on the idea of getting him certified and getting his TD. I’m still going to train and track him. I’m still going to try and “fix” this turn problem we have. But if he never earns his TD and just has fun tracking, that’s fine with me.
