An ALMOST Alert

Y'all, tonight was our first partial alert.  I let him sniff the baggie with the low scent inside and he partially lifted his leg as if to alert, but then put it back down before finishing the alert.  But, this is PROGRESS!!  It makes me want to train him 50 more times tonight just to see if he'll complete an alert.
But, sadly, I don't want to OVERDO him.  I'll stick with my 5-10 times a day regimen.  It seems to be working nicely.

I have made a few more low samples.  We have a total of 6 now with a wide range of lows.  From as high as 63 to as low as 43.  I try never to use the same low twice in a row because I don't want him to think there is any set one of them that he should alert to most.

I'm so proud of him, and I can't wait until we get our first REAL alert.  You better believe it will be posted here!!
