Seren:  road crossing obstacle track. Age 3 hr, 1 intermediate article

Not bad. She was affected by the wind somewhat, but groundskeepers working right on her track & the warm temperature did not seem to be a problem. Interesting- several times recently she has downed as soon as she catches the scent from of the next article. I don’t know what to make of that

Dylan: 8 turn stairstep, 6 turns flagged, 2 with clothespin as ground markers. Age 1 hour. Loose dog with person had been all over at least the 1st part of the track about 15 min before it was run, & shelter dogs being, walked provided significant distractions while we were running track. However, no article were  missing & all food drops appeared to be in place.

Fairly mediocre performance. Had some issues with turns 2&3, I think not so much that he didn’t know where track was, but more that he had difficulty keeping his mind on the task at hand with the distraction of dogs being walked while we were working & scents left behind by previous dogs. Needs more work with distractions, both ongoing & appearing while we are working. May be time to introduce planned crosstracks.

 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
