First search training this spring

Riva has definately matured over the winter. I saw it right away in the first herding sessions we did in the beginning on May but its evident in search also. Everybody commented how his alerts had a whole new "sound" to them, more intense and confident. We did a couple of motivation raising exercises with alerts, I let him see the victim going off to the forest and sent him after right away. This was just to remind him how much fun search is, we have had almost six months break over the winter.
