December 3: Cheeky's first tracking class

In the pouring rain and about 50°F, Judi laid three short tracks for Cheeky. She walked backward so Cheeky could see what Judi was doing. Cheeky seemed to pick up on the idea right away especially on the second track. She was sniffing and eating most of the hot dogs. We can work on recognizing the articles at home.

She was distracted by people are dogs walking by but she's just a puppy and we can work on that.

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 31: tracking class and first turn

Cheeky went to class today. Temps were in the high 40s/low 50s. It was foggy and we tracked in the soy bean field for the first time. Cheeky did a great job finding her first left turn. The track was about 70 scuff steps for the first leg and after the turn about 20 scuff steps with food drops every 3 steps. This week we’ll continue doing left turns.

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.
