December 27: Tracking at Cold Harbor Battlefield

Today we went to Cold Harbor Battlefield for the first time this year.  We have tracked near there, but not actually at the Battlefield until today.  It was very busy around 2 pm (I guess because of the holiday).  It was 41°F and not windy.

I laid tracks that were 50/60/70 scuff steps and food drops every three steps.  Sizzle did great and ate a lot of the food.  She stayed right on the tracks and was excited to find the articles.  Today since we were at the battlefield I used clothes pins instead of flags at the start and about 6 steps before the article.  Sizzle is always enthusiastic about tracking.  I laid her tracks in the big field which is always a great place to track.  The grass is cut pretty short right now.

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.

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.

December 16: Sizzle's third track

Sizzle’s 80 scuff step track was a bit too much for her but she got to work and found her glove. She’s still very good and eating most of the treats and using her nose but since this was only her third time tracking I need to go back to 15,20,25 with her for a week or so.
