Tracking

We met Ann & Basco out at Southside this morning. The wind picked up a little from yesterday and the ground was dry.

Aron's track was continuous serpentines, with random sections up to 8 steps without food. He picked up his head 4 times, then resumed tracking by himself. He didnt not move off the track around the corners or up the mounds. He was less concentrated at the end of yesterday's track so today I moved up beside him for the last 15 ft to make sure he stayed focused and on the footsteps and it worked beautifully. He was pulling quite hard, I have to give it some thought as to whether I try to fix this or accept it.

Madison ran her track of mostly straight sections with 4 corners. She did well and for most of the track there was a slight loop in the lead. She did overshoot one corner that had no food on it, so I held her and she worked it out and found the track again.
