No more sightings of Green Lane Black Labrador to report since its visit to the holiday tent. It is so frustrating that this dog does not come near people or food or a trap! We have rather run out of ideas, so the current plan is a scent trail that leads home. The Green Lane is just under two miles from home, but Sky has never walked the route. There is also a lot of sheep fenced fields, which a dog could not get through - with only two possible routes.
We are therefore putting a scent trail from the Green Lane to home through the shortest route. Hoover bag contents mixed with water is said to the best scent. Unfortunately wind and rain make scent short term - and we have had nothing but wind and rain recently.
We think that this is the best strategy at present as nothing else seems to give anything positive.
