  Lost dog track
  
  Ever wonder what happens when a dog gets lost chasing a deer? This dog was wearing a Garmin Astro GPS collar and I made a video of what happened. You can see the dog work a moving person track on a harness and be walked back to the vehicle. At the beginning of the movie, the moving person is out front and the dog catches up and finds the person. On the way back to the car, the dog spotted a deer and blasted off. About two hours later or so, the humans got close to where the dog was circling ar...

  Chase track
  
  Here's a dog GPS track recorded on TopoFusion of a subject "running away" (well at 1.5 miles an hour it's a very slow run!) and the dog running a track to catch the person. It would be much more exciting it this were a true adrenalin track, but the dog still found it very motivating.

  BB's first exposure to the Randy Hare method
  
  Laura bought some Randy Hare boxes and we pulled BB out to see what he's think of this method of training. BB is already a trained and certified cadaver dog. It was neat to see that Laura could introduce a distraction into the game almost immediately. We didn't have any tennis balls on a string handy, so we used a rubber ball on a whip. The whip part was torn off fairly quickly. But that made the ball on a string rather perfect for this purpose.

  Flip versus RCA Small Wonder EZ-201 - 2 of 2
  
  This is a video captured by the RCA Small Wonder EZ-201. It uses variable rate recording and is about 16 MB vice the Flip's 20 MB. However, you'll easily be able to see the difference in quality in a side-by-side comparison (previous blog entry).

  Flip versus RCA Small Wonder EZ-201 - 1 of 2
  
  I've uploaded two videos recording the same scene at the same time. This is video 1 of 2 -- and it's the Flip Video Camcorder. The quality is definitely better... better detail and fewer artifacts.

  Task Assignment Forms
  
  This video is meaningless without an accompanying explanation. In short, this is a demonstration of how one staples maps to the backs of carbon copy task assignment forms (TAF) for search management. SAR management is still extremely paper-based and manual... base operations keeps one copy of the TAF form and accompanying map and distributes to the searcher a second copy of the TAF form and map.

  Post-surgery training
  
  Here's a post-surgery movie of BB at about the 4 months point. He looks pretty good and flies through the woods at his usual speed, but still needs a lot of strengthening and conditioning. I won't work him at night until the Spring since it's not worth risking injury at this point. Now at the 6 month point, he tires at about 2 hours of strenuous activity. No where near the 4-6 hours from before. But yesterday he scaled up-and-down a 6-foot vertical drop into a stream bed -- so I continue to se...
