To take advantage of cool weather, Seren had a distance track with 3 turns, 2 intermediate articles - first one had no food, just praise & petting. Drizzle, 61 degrees, 12 mph, 90%. Age 2hr 30min

She was distracted a few times, but did not seem to be struggling to follow the track at any point. I saw no evidence that she was getting tired at any point along the way.

Dylan had 4 turns. 1st & 4th were hangman’s turns. Start & end articles only. Age 1 hour, drizzle, 61 degrees, 12mph, 90%

He stayed very true to the track with line at 10-12 feet. Had some difficulty with 1st (hangman) turn - good LOS, initially went in correct direction but lost confidence & took a bit to get it back. 4th turn significantly improved.

 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...
