feeling estatic
Ok I'm feeling estatic today thank you friends for your encouragement. I went out yesterday and worked my dog for about 45 minutes and that helped. (Even though I had to wear my helmet which makes me look so stoopid) But at least I'm protected and no real complaints there. Working my dog is probably one of the best therapy's I know of. (Besides you folks of course) I did get a little out of breath but I attribute some of that to the fact I was working in some steep terrain and about 6 inches of snow. It gets me out of breath under normal conditions so thats ok. I figure any exercise I do either for my lungs or my body has to be good for me, RIGHT? Maks the wonder dog did awesome and did 6 perfect finds and indications after about 1 month of no real training exercises thats a positive thing. We worked 3 of those searches on 80 acre blind searches. Maks also did 2 perfect cadaver finds, so now you can see why i'm smiling and feeling estatic. I'll be working Maks again sometime this evening as I am going to be showing him off to a fellow dog dork who has a drug dog from a neighboring county and he wants to see how a search dog works, and indicates.
