Day 5

It's hard to believe we have finished five days of training! We spent the morning tracking at a local park. Keeper is an excellent tracker! Jeremy had Jack and I go through a wooded area, into a grassy field and then back into another wooded area to hide. We never take a direct route when walking to our "hiding spot" to make things harder for Keeper. Neither Keeper or Rich saw us take our "walk" so there was no clue as to where to start. Jeremy had Rich take Keeper on the track and she found us without a problem, going the same route we had walked! It is amazing how she picks up Jack's scent and then takes off!
After lunch we all met at the local mall. As you can imagine the mall was crowded today. Jeremy observed each team in public to make suggestions and corrections. He also did a track in the store. Jack is enjoying being tethered to her. He is starting to sit by her on the couch but still doesn't like her face too close to him.
Sorry no new pictures today. Will try to get some tomorrow.
