We have had our first training! The pictures below are followed by some comments, and further down you'll find some more to read!
Här ska vi ut på våran första patrull. Vi gjorde nog alla fel som man kan göra, men på bilden sitter vi iallafall som man ska och spanar efter "fienden" :-)About to embark on our first patrol. We probably did all the mistakes possible, but on the picture above we at least have the right position, and we are looking for the "enemy" supposedly hanging around in the woods! :-)
Jag och Strax står och reflekterar.Me and Strax thinking about stuff :-)
Långt före vi kom upp på patrullstigen hade Strax sniffat upp fienden - han befinner sig rakt utanför Strax nos på den här bilden, ca 70 meter ut i skogen :-)Strax detected the enemy far before we entered the patrol-trail, on this picture the person is right infront of Strax, about 70 meters out in the woods :-)
Strax i basen. Bakom han ligger många fler hundar och väntar.Strax in "base", behind him in the forest there are several more dogs waiting.
Skogsdjuret Strax har lagt sig skönt till rätta under en gran. Tyvärr gjorde myggen och småinsekterna vad dom kunde för att göra livet surt för oss. Tur att han har rejält med päls. My forestanimal Strax found a place he could rest comfortably at. Unfortunately the mosquitoes did their best to bother us. Luckily Strax has a thick fur!
Som sagt, igår var det alltså första träningen och vi tränade bas och patrull. Strax låg lugnt och fint i basen trots att några hundar runt omkring skällde, gnällde och gnagde på träd. Han är duktig på att ta det lugnt gubben min :-)
När vi skulle gå patrull visade Strax sitt vanliga jag - han fick vittring väldigt tidigt, markerade vart figgen satt och skulle sen följa spår efter stigen. Vi hade en sk. ljudfigurant som gjorde några ljud när vi passerade, och Strax kastade ett öga mot skogen men ville sedan fortsätta. Jag tror vi måste öva en del på att han ska bibehålla intresset för den figurant som han har hittat, inte bara liksom peka - där är det en, där är det en - kan vi gå spåra nu...typ....
Yesterday we had our first training regarding the Swedish Armed Forces Dog (hereinafter SAFD) and Strax did very well. We trained what is called “base” meaning that he should be able to relax also when left alone among many other dogs in the woods. We place the dogs with a few meters distance, and they should just stay there and be quiet and calm until the owners or someone else comes to pick them up. Despite that some dogs stressed quite a lot, barking and chewing on threes, Strax managed to lie down and be totally calm during the whole time he was left alone. I was very proud of him.
The second thing we trained was what we call “patrol”, the dogs are supposed to walk quietly along a track, and show their owner where in the woods people are located. This time we trained with noise, meaning that the dogs should react on noise in the wood, but without barking or getting all worked up. Strax took the sent from the person hiding very early; even before the trail, and then he didn’t want to pay more attention to that person…he wanted to follow the track instead. I guess we will have to work on that.
