Tracking - End of the Winter Camp

We had a great tracking day this morning at Southside. All the dogs did really well. Ann tracked Basco over 1000yds with many articles, Kay ran Loki over 1500yds, and Tyson worked three tracks with corners moving up to food every 3rd step. Frank did an excellent job of focusing him in and the results after 2 days of tracking really were great.

Aron worked his 550yd track well. I used 8 articles again, 2 plastic (he indicated both today), 2 wood, 2 carpet and 2 leather (thanks Kay for the loaners). The wind picked as a rain squall came through while we were halfway down the track. Kay, Ann and Frank managed to hang on and watch the rest of the track and Aron didnt even pick up his head to notice that it was raining.

Madison ran her short track well. I will have to run her next one with many articles to get her back on them. She tried to simply run over it so I will have to work on it for next time.

Check out these shots from this morning: (the first 2 shots are older)
