Run in to work with the big guy on longline and collar.
He was doing fine hands-free, until Palgrave East where we spotted a deer standing right on the trail staring at us. Oh oh... I had my thumb hovering over the remote collar button and got a hand on the long-line, and told him to SIT.
Son of a gun- he instantly sat there and watched the deer!! I never needed the collar or longline. As we got closer, I could smell deer, and 2 more ran right in the bush beside us. He was on max alert, and stared a lot into the bush for the next 200m, but never needed more than voice.
Holy cow!

Big guy no-hands again. He politely asked me if we can take the long way via the switchbacks, so we did. One moment where I had to get his attention with the collar, otherwise perfect. Very mucky in spots.
