December 24

 We went to the fields near 360 and Valero outside our subdivision. I laid tracks for Cheeky and Sizzle 40/50/60 steps.  I noticed Sizzle starting to spot the article about 3-5 feet in front of her and running towards it the same way Cheeky does.  Sizzle's first track had food drops every two steps.  For the next two I did food drops every three steps and she had no issues with that.  She stayed right on her tracks and did a great job as usual.

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 ...
