Seren tracking

 Dorey Park Each dog had a 3 turn track with an article on each turn. Dog was to stay for food, petting, & praise until released to get back to the track. I think we all did a little better than yesterday. Seren had #1, Dylan #2. Both aged 90 minutes. I am noting that Dylan tracks with his head higher than Seren & is more easily visually distracted. Also tends to look, rather than smell, for article when he gets close. Probably has always been this way & I am just now perceiving it. Need to give him more ‘hidden’ articles.

 Taylor Park Each dog had a 2 turn track with 2 intermediate articles. Focus on me making a bigger deal out deal  out of articles & also dog taking responsibility for being on track after turn, showing me they are sure by pulling into harness. Both tracks aged 1hr 15 min. Seren has #1, Dylan #2. It’s going to take a few sessions for me to be smooth about dropping food on articles 🙂 Seren had an air scenting episode on leg 2 that took a while to get through, & to a lesser extent on leg 3. Took me longer than it should have to remember about stepping behind dog when they are slightly off track. Clearly I need more practice. Both dogs had good turns & restarts after articles. I didn’t notice the sky until looking at the video - so pretty! Seren     https://youtu.be/-PBrSlGebdw?feature=shared Dylan   https://youtu.be/U4d4mYGeLIg?feature=shared
