| Bit the Handler | With several family emergencies* since Christmas, I have faced MAJOR gaps in Grim's cadaver training. Just some here and there bits and peices. *Combination of My major sinus infections / dental issues Dec-Feb Dad's Lung Cancer & surgery-Feb-Mar (and ongoing monitoring) Mom's massive stroke Mar-present and future Anyway I am not even home right now - husband is caring for the dogs - I am working remotely from parents house a 10 hour drive as we get the two of them ready for a move to be with us. I don't foresee restarting training with any consistency until mid June and then I will have to force the issue and just do it. How would you account for the gap in the training records ? Where would you start? With that kind of gap I think I am just going to start from ground zero as though he had no prior training - document and progress and assume he will move quickly since he still "had it" - during my hit or miss training, the main issue I saw was not as much committment to stay at source so I was working on rebuilding that. Has anyone had this kind of gap before and how have they dealt with it? |
