 Dylan’s tracking class at Cool Water. Track all in woods. 45min  old, food in ‘hard’ places. Cloudy, ~50 degrees, lite wind. He did well, I need to let line out before moving. https://youtu.be/SYlIQ2TiBEU?feature=shared Seren, Windsor Business Park.  2 turn track, scuff start & out of both turns. Food every 10 steps. 2nd turn flagged. Age 3hr 40min. She did pretty well with this set-up. Also I got lots of practice with letting out line before I move on the straightaway when she was stopping every 10 steps. Think I’ll continue with old track/lots of food for a few, then start diminishing the food https://youtu.be/YHkgAkVJMHo?feature=shared

 Courthouse Park Seren: 4 turn track, 3rd turn unflagged. Food on all but last leg, 4th leg had jackpot food drop. Article on 3rd leg. 2hr, 45min old Pretty disappointed in this, especially after Tuesday being so good. Recently I’m seeing a lot of nice starts, then petering out after about 30 yd. That’s why the food on the 1st leg, but I don’t think she found much of the food I put down. Still pondering what to do next, thinking about a fairly old -4hourish- track with lots of food https://youtu.be/OcWcL3RNhIs?feature=shared

 Surry P&R Dylan:  3 turn track with 2 road crossings. Three food drops in road at each crossing.  3rd turn flagged, also flag in middle of 4th leg.   All turns right on the nose. Not affected by ‘extra’ flag. At first road crossing, had to work at it for a few seconds, 2nd one was great. Did have to think about the guide rope crossing there, tho. Articles could have been better. https://youtu.be/XDgXaeA3Njk?feature=shared

 Dorey Park. Seren:  tried again to do the track I had in mind for yesterday. 4 turns, food on 1, 3, &4. Article on each corner except last one (I forgot), & one on straightaway leg 3. Age 3 hours After a gawd-awful start, we managed to muddle through, with me doing what I could think of to help her. I think she just did not want to track today. About all she did well was indicate the articles.  Her next track will be younger, shorter, & have more food on it. https://youtu.be/MOeOk6G_kUM

 Seren:  Capitol Park. 5 turns, article on each turn. One food drop on 1st leg, none on 2nd, lots on legs 3,4,&5. Returned from running Dylan’s track to find multiple lawnmowers & park employees all over the track. After some consideration, decided to bag it & try again tomorrow. Went & picked up stuff &, tho several articles had been moved, the only casualty was the end flag. Very annoying to have plans constantly thwarted, but oh well. Dylan:  4 turns, intro to tracking in the woods. He aced it! Only issue was numerous opportunities for leg-lifting. But then, he doesn’t really need trees for an excuse https://youtu.be/bDwivW4j2bw
