December 19: Pole Green Park

It was 43°F with 12 mph winds. Sizzle did two tracks of 20/30 scuff steps with food every two steps. She did the same thing Cheeky did and ran for the article once she saw it.

January 5: Practicing Left Turns Day Four

Sizzle did a track at the fields near the Battlefield Green Community Center and Valero. She was slow and steady as always eating a lot of the food on the track. She looked around at the turn for just a moment and then took it. I'm very happy with how she's tracking. Today in addition to the video I drew a map and used an app called Dog Tracks 2.0. I like the way the app works and even tho it may not be completely accurate, it gave me a nice map.

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:

Happy New Year: Sizzle's First Track of 2023 / First Turn

We went tracking at the Community Center near 360 and did Sizzle's first left turn. It was around 61°F at 3 pm. I laid a track that was two 60-step legs (scuffing all steps) with a left turn and food every three steps. I had to abandon Sizzle's first track after the first leg because there was broken glass all over the ground. So I went to a field across a small road which is right next to 360. Sizzle did a great job on her track and the turn and wasn't bothered at all by the busy road or traffic. She kept her nose down and working the whole time. Below is my map of Sizzle's track.
