Article progress: up to 4 tie-downs

While I'm chilling out in a hotel room, I might as well post the scent article progress.  I am literally chilling; the A/C in this room is working great. 

Memory is a quirky, unreliable thing, so I am putting my results in  table.  Now to see if Blogspot can publish it without making it look weird.

Date, time	Number of articles tied down	Alder			Maple
		Metal	Leather	Comments	Metal	Leather	Comments
Aug 2	2	X	Yes		Yes	Yes
Aug 3, AM	2	Yes	Yes		Yes	Yes
Aug 3, PM	2	Yes	Yes	Very slow on return	Yes	X	Tugged at both metal and leather tie-downs. Scented article to side in grass. Not so obvious
Aug 5, AM	2	Yes	Yes	Did retrieve of lone scented, tossed articles first, with Alder on flexi. He walked out to mat, but tail up. On flexi, so return faster.	Yes	Yes	No problem at all, and perky on return.
Aug 6, AM	2	Yes	Yes	Removed flexi on second, and he was slow on return. Replaced, did metal again with flexi to encourage speed	Yes	Yes	No problem
Added a second mat and 2 more articles
Aug 6, PM	4	Yes	Yes	On a flexi.	X	Yes	Did Maple after Alder. Did leather first. Might have been lingering scent pool for metal or Maple might need to test. Tugged at both metal and leather tie-downs before selecting correct metal.
Aug 7, PM	4	Yes	Yes	On a flexi, slow out, but clearly understands. Very hot day	Yes	Yes	A little perkier than Alder. Didn’t test tie-downs today. Not sure how to speed up on out.
Aug 8, PM	4	X	X	Working from further away. On metal (first), checked all articles, but barely skimmed scented one, which was in front. I sent him again and he found it. On leather, took a detour to look for his toy in my training bag.	Yes	Yes	No problem
