Tracking training


I've been trying to get the dogs tracking more, trying to go for Brick's TD this coming year, and maybe Whiskey's. Here's today's track - Aged 25 minutes old, 1500+ ft long, some food on the track to keep it rewarding, since he worries a bit when there's people around if he's supposed to do obedience or keep tracking. Cold, 40 degrees, raining. The blue line is the track, the red dots are used socks and a sleigh bell that he was supposed to find (he did). Using food and several "articles" to find, I keep it rewarding for him to keep working. Cars on the busy 15-501 and Lystra road were not a problem, going between two power boxes worried him, which is unusual, and I'm guessing they might be a little leaky?

At any rate, you can track his progress on his training blog:
