Practice search for LiDochka

Kelsy did okay on this practice search.  We tried something different, to get her out of this slump.  Today, the trail was known to me in advance, and I ran Kelsy on the fresh scent just to see how she is working the scent.  She went wide on the corners, and then came back to the scent.  This is not unusual.  In a couple of places, she went off track, and if I had not known the trail in advance, I wouldn't have known from her behavior that she was going off the rails.  Right near the end, she pulled like a heat-seeking missile, pulling as hard as she could toward the location where LiDochka was hidden a car.  The wind was at Kelsy's back, so I don't think it was direct air scenting.  I would not say she did great, certainly not as well as past performances.  We will keep working.
