I'm ready Alison , let me track!! Bridhe started tracking homework today.



For this week, she is to try to run tracks a couple of times a day. Might not happen this week, since I'm getting the boys ready for the draft test, but might be able to do breakfast and dinner. The tracks are pieces of kibble or hotdog or something, laid out one after another in a serpentine fashion, about 3-4 inches apart, for about 10-15 ft.  Right now we are shaping the tracking style - position of body over the track and negotiation of turns (mostly a hindquarters problem). Left legs go on the left side of the track, right legs go on the right side of the track, with the track running down the midline of the dog. Aiming for Bridhe to pick up every single kibble or treat and take her time.
