December 19: Pole Green Park

It was 42°F and about 12 mph winds. Cheeky did 3 tracks. 20/30/40 scuff steps with food every 2 steps. 5-6 feet before the article she saw it and ran to it. At one point I was holding Cheeky tight enough that she stopped tracking and looked back at me so I let her go once she wanted to run towards the article. Here's a photo of Cheeky's tracks on the field where someone had driven all over the field.

December 11

Cheeky, Sizzle and Fanny did 50 scuff steps (with food every two steps) tracks near the Community Center and Valero by 360 today. Cheeky ate more of the food without a flag in front of her and mostly kept her nose to the ground.

December 4: First practice with Cheeky

Jason and Fanny went with us today for our first practice. It was 4:20 pm and starting to get dark and cold at about 44°F. I laid three tracks that were 15, 20 and 25 scuff steps. Cheeky did a great job on her tracks and when there was a distraction, she got right back to work. We still need to work on articles. Jason video taped Cheeky’s track: https://youtu.be/vzK4Jd26p70

December 5: Cheeky's third time tracking

It was sunny and 51°F. We went to a small field near 360 by a small shopping center and a Valero near the front of our subdivision. Cheeky was excited to track and get the hotdogs, but she noticed the traffic about halfway down the second track and got nervous. I did ask her to lay down to get the hotdogs and she did that. She gets the tracking for hotdogs, but I don't think she's quite figured out that the article is what she's looking for. Here's a photo of the three tracks and a panoramic photo of the area.
