 Hanover Courthouse 

Seren had 4 one turn tracks, with age increasing from 1.5 hours to 2 hr, 2.5 hr, 3 hr. The older the track, the more food & scuffing it had. I had to remember food, petting, & praise at each article and to wait for her to pull before I move out. I was pretty pleased with this. Age of track did not seem to be a factor today.

Dylan had a 2 turn track, age 1hr 45min. Middle article up on picnic table seat. Line kept at 10-12 feet to try to keep him more precisely on track. I thought he did quite well with this, but I may need to use a glove as an intermediate article more often. Or maybe not - does it really matter? Or was it just coincidence that he seemed to think that article was the end.

 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

 Taylor Park Seren’s theme was ‘fun with obstacles’. Had one article with food in it in the woods & one out in the open in addition to start & end She did great with the obstacles & I think had fun doing them. She was very proud of figuring out the fence & wanted to play with passer-by dog, which she never does. Article in woods with food in it is better than food leading up to it, but still needs work. The leg next to the woods was difficult with the slope, but she handled it well. Checked but discarded an opening in the woods prior to the correct one. I liked her attitude  g video:  https://youtu.be/NJXuCSGX9mk?feature=shared Dylan had a classic stairstep, with novel articles at start & legs 3 & 5, familiar one at end. Age 45 min Start not great - was distracted by dog park & shelter across the street, but didn’t take him long to get to work. Still doesn’t down automatically at unfamiliar articles, but does so readily with verbal cue. Turns g...
