Tracking

It was a good morning up at Southside. The wind was intermittent but nowhere near yesterday's recorded 30kts. Ann had Baso, and Kay brought Loki.

I laid Aron's track with continuous serpentines, and up to 8 steps w/o food, at least 10 step of food between any two sections without. He ran it methodically with a consistent speed over the whole track. He even tracked up a steep bank on a diagonal consistently. On one of the serpentines I put in a sharper corner w/o food on the corner and he stuck to it and never missed a footstep. He missed 5 pieces of food from the entire track.

Madison's track was little more challenging. The ground cover was a little more patchy and I started her immediately up a bank with a corner at the top. Se was very excited to begin and settled as we went on. I will have to start giving her dinner the night before to settle her a little off the start. I have also taken to putting the leash under her left front leg as she was walking down the track on an angle with her ass off to the left before. Madison missed 6 pieces of food.

Here are a couple pictures from this morning of Kay and Loki.
