This is the test we do at the end of a training session to test their focus on the handler without talk or treats. The less redirections needed the better the dog does. This is how you socialize a dog to new people, places, and things.

The team on GTR had a great weeks sailing in Volvo Cork week 2024. There were plenty of action adventure and excitement through the week with team showing improvement the more time they spent on the boat. By the end of the week we where beating one of the other J109 and getting closer to the leading two. The team at Bottom Up Boats should have a lot of great footage to share over the upcoming couple of weeks.

This little visitor landed on Li's deck! We were sailing from Haapsalu to Kökar #. First half an hour she just slept, keeping balance perfectly. Listen how I'm whistling and she blinks deep brown eyes. After gathering some energy she started to explore the deck. Going through every corner trying to find something to eat. As an insectivorous bird she didn't like served rolled oats! After catching one spider she started to do short preying flights around the boat and always returned to the aft deck to eat her catch. Many ladybugs lost their lives. I didn't even know that there are ladybugs flying in the middle of Baltic Sea. This common redstart was unbelievably fearless! She let us even touch her feather coat gently. Then also another common redstart landed! She was soaking wet shivering on the cockpit floor. But the first visitor was angry and drove her away. To make this rare meeting more strange, a threatening falcon was gliding circles high above the boat for almost two hours. Just like wanting to add some drama! Maybe it has been chasing these little birds and they were seeking for a shelter. When the first islets were on sight the little passenger left.
