December 30: Tracking at Cold Harbor Battlefield in Spring-line Weather

We tracked at Cold Harbor Battlefield around 4 pm.  It was 64°F and wind was going to the left over the tracks at about 8-10 mph.  I laid three tracks that were 70/80/90 scuff steps with food every three steps.  Sizzle did a fantastic job even though she was blown off to the left a few times.  Each time she found the scent and got right back to work.  She ate about every other hot dog.  I did find out not to put cheese in her articles.  She was having none of that and in the first article that had hot dog and cheese in it, she actually spit out the cheese to get more hot dog.  Too funny! 🤣

Today I took a couple photos of my line-ups.  This was the double line-up in front of me.


This was behind me.

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.

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.
