Caesar made his first 800 metre track an interesting one today, challenging his handler to demonstrate line-handling skills acquired at the Workshop in April! After several hundred metres right on track, including a brilliant first turn, he became a bit distracted.
He really would have preferred to track the deer that had wandered through the second turn a few minutes before we got there but patience paid off and he finally went back to work and found Galena.
Go, The Caesar, passing with a “Good”!

Caesar scored a win today in the Paws at Mole Creek photo competition in the Cool Canines category. Donning his sunnies and relaxing in front of the tv, Caesar figures he’d make a great Inspector Rex!
“Rex Who?”

Caesar passed Track 1 today at the TDTC Tracking Trial at Cressy, the final trial of the season in Tasmania.
He worked hard with very stiff winds and earned a rating of Good. Many thanks to Tracklayer, Gayle and her smelly socks!
Caesar has absolutely become enthralled with tracking and even demands it, frequently nudging my arm and leading me to his crate where the socks reside on top then looking at me and back at socks.
Regrettably training has to scale down significantly Oct - April due to snake movements. We will endeavor to do short training sessions along the River walk in Deloraine as frequently as possible during the summer to satisfy Caesar’s penchant for this very rewarding canine sport.
