December 16

I started fanny but letting her cleanup Cheeky and Sizzle’s tracks. She then did her own 80 scuff step track with food every two steps. Fanny did great. She was very happy and ate a lot of the treats. She was working and using her nose.

    Good to hear! I think if you can get her over the jump of ‘stranger danger’ tracking might be very good for her!

November 14: Tracking in the Cold

It was 50°F, not windy but chilly and sunny at 3 pm. We went tracking at the field outside my subdivision on near 360. Fanny picked up hot dogs on the first track but went over them on the next two tracks. This may have been because the grass was shin high and she had to dig around for them in the high grass. Fanny voluntarily laid down at each article. At the second article, she looked around before laying down like she had to make sure the coast was clear. Fanny still wants to continue tracking when we're done even though I move the lead to her collar. She tracked all the way back to the van.

November 4: Tracking Practice

Today we tracking in the same field as yesterday.  It was 70°F and not windy at 6:05 pm. It was a little different because Jason was with us and video taped us tracking. Fanny seemed a little distracted but happy.  I tried to slow her down and at one point she stopped completely, maybe to see what Jason was doing. She stopped a few times to pick up treats. I will post the video.  She paused for a long minute at the first article, sat on it and then turned around and laid down at the article for her treats.  I think she was distracted.
