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!

Happy New Year: Fanny's First Track of the Year

We went tracking at the Community Center near 360 and practiced a left turn.  It was around 61°F at 3 pm.  I laid a track right beside the Community Center building that was two 60-step legs (scuffing all steps) with a left turn and food every three steps.  Fanny was trying to pull me to the left quite a bit, but she kept her nose down and working.  Here is my map of Fanny's track.

October 31: All Hallows Eve Tracking

 Today we went to a field in my subdivision next to the tennis court and playground.  It had been dizzling earlier so it was very quiet except for the occasional car driving by.  It was 64°F with 6 mph winds and overcast. We did another 15, 20 and 25 steps track. My line-up is the corner fence post and the corner of the house behind it. Here is the track with 6 flags and three articles. Fanny ate a lot of the food but ran over some of it. She would have back tracked to get it if I let her. I kept her moving forward.  She went off to the right about a foot one time to sniff something, but quickly moved back to the track and kept tracking. She seemed very interested in the second article nudging it with her nose I said, "what did you find?" and she laid down.  At the last article, she wanted to keep going until I kneeled down.at the article and then she laid down for the cookies. She seems to continue tracking even after I put ...

November 2: Cold Harbor Battlefield

  5:15 pm Overcast/not windy/66°F at the large field at Cold Harbor Battlefield Fa nny ran down the track and pretty much ignored the food but did stop for it a couple times but not because she was nervous.    She was very excited to track.    Tail wagging and indicated each article without me saying or doing anything.    I just stayed quiet and gave her a minute and she nudged the articles with her nose and then laid down.    I think she was excited to track and excited to get to the jackpot in each article. Edit: I forgot to add that Fanny did drink from her water bottle at the end of the track.  I made her lay back down at the last article and offered her water.  In that position, she decided to drink a little bit.
