The blind leading the blind
We also did some good tracking. I laid the track which was in deep grass. I tried hard to pick up my feet and make longer strides so each footstep is clear. Tristan did great on his tracking and the trainer complimented me that I did well holding the leash! No joke! You have to hold the leash enough so he doesn’t go too fast so he gets every footstep but then relax it so he’s not pulling on it. It’s actually rather hard to get the right rhythm going.
All in all a nice training day. Tristan was really tuckered out. He slept all the way home with his head on my arm. He has, however, made an amazing recovery and is now being quite insistent that I join him in the backyard for fetch.
