December 11: Sizzle's second track

 Sizzle did a 50-scuff step track with food every two steps. Sizzle was onc again wagging and very happy the whole time and ate pretty much all the food on the track. She's very cute trying to keep her butt in the air but laid down to get her hot dogs out of the glove.

January 2: Practicing our Left Turn at Cold Harbor Battlefield

I laid another track with two 60-scuff step legs and a left turn and food every three steps.  Sizzle did a fantastic job tracking and ate about every other hot dog.  At the left turn she sniffed the turn and figured out which way the track went quickly.  I did a better job videoing Sizzle's track since it was the second one I recorded and it looks pretty good.  Below is the map of Sizzle's track:

December 28: Tracking

We tracked back at the field by the Battlefield Green subdivision/Community Center and Valero on 360.  It was  52°F and wind was 10-15 mph north and we were going west down the tracks so wind was blowing Sizzle to the right quite a bit, but the scent did bring her back to the track.  I practiced keeping pressure on the line and she kept her nose down the entire time.  Today's tracks were  60/70/80 scuff steps with food  drops every 3 steps.

January 4 Track: Thunder and Lightening

 We just barely got to run the track I laid for Sizzle before we had to get home out of the thunder and lightening so Cheeky and Fanny didn't get to track today.  I even left the flags and clip in the field to come back for them later.  The track was one leg of 70 scuff steps, a left turn and 40 scuff steps with food drops every three steps.  Sizzle was clearly unsure about the weather and was initially trying to stand by me and looked to me to quit.  She kept coming around behind me and putting her front feet on my back which she does sometimes to get my attention.   I was patient and just waited for her to go back to work and she eventually did.  She found the glove and we quickly made it back to the van.  When I got in the van I pulled up a weather app called Carrot and this is what I saw. I did record the track with my chest harness.  I was a little more talkative than I should be during a track.  Please ignore my commentary or ...
