11-25-25 tracking class

 Dorey Park

Seren had a 2 turn blind track, laid by Ellen. 3hr20min old. Only food was in articles. Paralleled & then crossed road. Partly cloudy, moderate breeze, lower 60s.

Great start & articles. Blown by wind a bit, cut corners on turns but recovered well. I need more blind tracks with long legs - Seren doesn’t care about length, but I get antsy if a leg goes much over 100 yd.

    That was lovely—maybe push to 4 hours next track, and then “come back” to 3. I wasn’t there…so my comments might be way off base. I’d consider going back there to train, and do some work along the road. Cars are hard for her, you’ve trained a beautiful alternative behavior, now I think it would be helpful to teach her to offer her alternative behavior, and then resume tracking.

    And, I must say, this made me a little teary. We started our tracking journey together at Dorey, first with Darcy and Tara, and then with Darcy and Katie. A lot of memories in those fields!

 North Park Library Seren only today. She had an article in the woods track, 3 hours old. All articles except start (which wasn’t in the woods) had food in them & had food 10-20 steps after. She tracked quite well, I thought. Needed reminder lie down at a couple of the articles (at least as quickly as I would like), so I don’t plan to leave the food out any of them just yet. Did not seem averse to lying down in the woods, tho. https://youtu.be/CZjVFmqwbxs?feature=shared

Judi’s woods & hayfield Seren had a 3 turn track entirely in the woods. Five articles + start & end, all with food in them. I was very happy with this track. The combination of food in articles & random lie downs in the woods seems to be working as she downed for every article on her own. We’ll see how it goes when I start to decrease the number of articles with food in them video: https://youtu.be/dAPfu-as8Rk?feature=shared Dylan did a 3 turn tracks in the hayfield, utilizing the bowl area. He needed a verbal cue for start article, but other 2 were automatic. Very nice start & turns. https://youtu.be/DX8JJ- WdqDc?feature=shared
