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.
