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.

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.

December 10: Sizzle's First Track

Today was Sizzle's first time tracking.  We went to a small battlefield near Gaines Mill Battlefield.  She went with Cheeky and Fanny when we went out to practice. I just kept the leash on her collar and didn't worry about a harness for today.  I laid three tracks of 15, 20 and 25 scuff steps and hot dogs every two steps.  She was very happy to be out doing something with me.  Sizzle ate almost all the hot dogs on her track and kept her nose to the ground working.   She laid down on command to get her hot dogs out of the glove.  Sizzle was a natural and happy the whole time.

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.
