Today Merlin got to practice search in a forest. The distances were quite short and the terrain easy due to his broken toe of course. Merlin got to see a victim walk sideways further away in the forest until the victim disappeared from sight behind a bush or a tree. That is when Merlin got to run and search the person. We tried to set it up so that Merlin would catch the victim's scent in the wind when approaching and be able to find the victim following the scent rather than using his eyes. It was a well done practice.
