Happy New Year: Sizzle's First Track of 2023 / First Turn

We went tracking at the Community Center near 360 and did Sizzle's first left turn.  It was around 61°F at 3 pm.  I laid a track that was two 60-step legs (scuffing all steps) with a left turn and food every three steps.  I had to abandon Sizzle's first track after the first leg because there was broken glass all over the ground.  So I went to a field across a small road which is right next to 360.  Sizzle did a great job on her track and the turn and wasn't bothered at all by the busy road or traffic.  She kept her nose down and working the whole time.  Below is my map of Sizzle's track.

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.
