Practice update

Larsen and I spent an hour or so with Tim Pullian going through steadying drills.  I spent some time heeling him and sitting him.  I also let him run the field and sat him.  A lot of sitting drills that can be transferred to yard work and walks.  I need to sharpen his obedience so that Larsen sits without thinking.

Larsen was steady with live, fluttering pigeons tossed at him and around him.

He broke immediately upon flushing his lone chukar.  Tim was pretty sure that he was ready for a flush, but it turned out to be premature.  Those chukar still provide too much temptation to a wild and uncontrolled flush.

My takeaway for the weekend was to be vigilant on our walks to peeps on the whistle for a quick sit.
