Yesterday we did some lure training to familiarize him with it. The lure, which is basically a furry beanbag, was garnished with food at the top end. This is to train him to grab onto the head of his prey so that it is a clean kill. He responded well to it, flying to it as soon as it was shown to him, and hitting it with force.
Today I did one long flight to the lure and he responded well, so I untied the creance and he was free, flying happily to and from the glove. Soon I will be able to enter him, which is getting him his first kill, but first his fitness will need to improve or he wont be fast enough to catch the rabbit.
