Today was the first day to take Gizmo outside for training. We went to the city park and found a quiet corner to work in. Getting him out of the truck was difficult as he wanted to bate like crazy. It did take a bit to get him to where he would come for food. I think he needed to soak in some of his surroundings before he got to work. Once we did get to work he did quite well going from 5 foot flights to 25 foot lights with in a matter of minutes. I think that he needs more weight dropped down and Ill do that while we do more training outside. All his training from this point will be outside. Our Lure session was slow It took him a minute to decide to come to it but I think that a few more of these sessions will produce a wed bird to the lure.

Today we flew to the fist and had food tossed out. I didnt get to use all the tidbits that I had as he stopped working. He did have a casting from yesterday, so I wont count that against him.

Today Gizmo seems to have turned a leaf. Im not sure if it is a weight issue but he has seemed to clicked and stopped being so fearful. He isnt spreading his tail and bating like crazy. He is looking at me intently as if to want to work with me. The session consisted of flying to the fist accross the room for food. After today Ill be working with him to come to the fist at which point ill toss food out for him to eat and to then return to the fist. The end of the session was a lure training with a Day old chick on the Lure. He went to it instantly which makes me happy.

Giz didnt want to jump to the fist after 6 flights so we called it a day. He will loose a bit and remember what he needs to do.

Our weights are still High but today we got a first jump to the fist. Only 7 days and all is well so far. The first few hops to the fist where only a foot but they got faster as the tidbits showed up. Whew.
