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 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.

 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.
