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.

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 7: small field beside road and playground

We went tracking today in the drizzly weather. It was warm and not windy. We were near the main road on my subdivision that has an occasional car pass by but no one was at the playground. Cheeky was nervous but she tracked well for the first half of the track. Then she got distracted and seemed to move down the stack with tracking or eating the hot dogs. She seems to ignore the glove initially until she knows it’s what I want her to pay attention to. She laid down in front of the glove and ate all her cookies. Then gave her more cookies on the glove and threw some for her similar to what I’m doing with Fanny since she seemed nervous.
