The video below is the result of our field test, conducted Tuesday evening. Worth noting are the following observations:
— Not all headstones or areas attracted the dog.
— When given the command to “search”, “find it”, or “find the people”, the dog appeared to understand what I was asking of her, moving towards headstones or areas as if in response.
— When moving towards groups of headstones, there were some that the dog looked at but would not approach.
Because I was alone with the dog at the location, I had to prevent her from pulling with one hand, and run the video camera with the other. To provide reasonably viewable video, I was unable to film the areas where she seemed to see or hear things I could not. I am hoping to find an assistant for future field tests.
Now, here is the video of field test #5.
First of all I love Glimmer’s new back-pack… vert sporty! And this s cool video, she really is a curious dog, perfect for this kind of work. You two are so in sync…
