Seren- short 3 turn track mostly in woods which I hoped she would think was fun. Age 3 hr 15 min. The end of the wall after the 1st turn posed an unexpected challenge. There were some odd wind eddies, perhaps blowing the scent of the end article toward her. She handled it well, I thought. Also, she really didn’t want to lie down on the branch by the article in the woods, but figured out how to orient her body to avoid that. Expected challenges were the big path going into the woods & the edge of the woods are popular dog walking areas tho we didn’t see any today. I think I was successful in making this as fun track, as she wanted to keep going after the end article.

Note: poison ivy is out☹️

    Nicely done! Edges of walls, buildings, or fences are often challenging. Just giving them time to work it out is the best solution.

 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
