Sandra & Tippet (DRTDT)

[Alana McGee]

We think this is FANTASTIC. Zero critiques for improvement on this, and loved his enthusiasm right before the third one!

Really nice easy, fluid, calm working style.

The one thing to be aware of is tippet actually handing you the truffle. Are you hiding the odor/ truffles in vials still?

we are tempted to have you start working with ?naked? truffles? or in a pinch rub truffle oil on a small (very small) potato. Since tippet is likely going to have a mouth retrieve- we want to start seeing now how that works/ looks. He has a gentle mouth, but Try it with a couple of the Pecan truffles you have if you want.

GREAT job on offering/ giving hydration 🙂

[quote]As long as I am somewhere in his peripheral vision, he is good. If I am directly behind him, he will reorient or stop what he is doing. [/quote]
What?s good is you notice this 🙂 well done.

Generally good job. It looks really good.

Hope you are having a great time at the NW 3 trial!!

Gentle??!! Tippet?. My brother laughed and laughed.

I wonder if the mouth retrieve will fade when he discovers there is dirt on truffles.

He loves truffle hunting, that’s obvious, and I think he is fully ready for next level.

Perhaps we will do some potato soaked in oils when we get back home and send a video as our final exam for this class.

The truffles are in the little round tins. He swallowed a vial, and I am hesitant to use them again. (My vet said antidote is half a loaf of cheap [gooey] bread).

Nice. 🙂

That’s actually more reason in of itself to start using real ones/ or potatoes…. rub some dirt on them. It will be different to see if his alert changes with it 🙂

We are so happy you will be continuing on in training. Team Tippet is doing fantastic!
See you December 1st!
