Seren: 8 turn stairstep, age 4 hr

Arrived back at Seren’s track to find mowing going on over it. Decided to give it a go but to be prepared to quit at any point. She did remarkably well. Some of the food drops (very lightweight freeze dried liver) had been scattered. She tried to find what she could but didn’t get far off the track. Article on leg 3 (yellow sock) so she just indicated the next piece of trash she came upon. Article on leg 7 was all chopped up but she indicated a piece of it. End article was gone, so I threw out my ‘spare’

This track was far from perfect, but I was very proud of my dog

Dylan: 4 one turn starts, ages 1.5, 2, 2.5, & 3hr. Turns not flagged

He had a hard time with #1 as other dog walkers appeared in the distance from opposite directions just as we were starting. When he was able to disregard the distractions he had no trouble following the track. one of the dog/human pairs walked all over #3 (& some of #4) so that will be interesting when we get to it.

#2 was better but still distracted, this time by lawnmower & light traffic. 

#3 area of crosstracks was hard for him & my handling wasn’t the best either. Another dog walker appeared, but he handled it better than on #1.

#4 may have been the best of the lot today, but Dylan was having a hard time sticking to the task at hand all morning. I think I could tell where he encountered cross tracks, but hard to be sure
