Double T Training


Double-T.png


Here is an image of what the Double T should look like.  This video demonstrates our training on this drill after 2 sessions.  The first session you want to start will be to establish the straight line location at the end of the T.  As you progress each leg of the Double T will have a pile of bumpers.  You want to make sure that your dog understands and runs each drill precisely before moving to the next section.  We had a very heavy wind during the video so I had to do a voiceover.  Sorry if it is a little boring, but this video will show you the progression of this drill.  I will try and post multiple videos as Tuvuk progresses on this drill.  We will probably be working this drill for a 2 week period about 4-5 times per week.  Tuvuk had a little tough time with sitting immediately on the whistle before casting to the pile I wanted.  I will incorporate a 30 ft lead to fix this slight problem  Hope you enjoy.

AKC Junior Title

Tuvuk and I traveled down to Turnagin Pass this past weekend to attend an AKC Hunt Test. This was his last 2 test needed to obtain his Junior Hunter Title. He passed both Saturday and Sunday. I then travel down to Kenai for some Red and Kings salmon fishing. I shipped Tuvuk up to Fairbanks where we have a UKC Hunt Test this weekend. If he passes both days he will also have his Started Title with the UKC. Stay tuned and I will try to get some pics and more video posted.

AKC Hunt Test this Weekend

Well we are done in Anchorage for another test. If all goes well Saturday and Sunday Tuvuk will have his Junior Hunting Title. I am also headed to the Kenai to fish this week. We will then be headed to Fairbanks for a UKC Hunt Test. Very busy week ahead, but we will also have some great time off. I will post information as I can.
