How did it feel,

List things the dog did well:

1. Staying on track, not really trying to weave off path much.

2. Working at a good speed. (At least it felt good to me?)

   
   

List things you’d like to improve:

1. Rebuilding confidence with loud sounds that are 'bangs, booms, thumps'

   (We had a very very scary incident where some strangers set off very large ear ringing fireworks on 12/28 just 20 yds from me and the dogs while on a potty break at a hotel traveling. Plus New Years Eve neighbors set off large fireworks beside our house in a tiny neughborhood too.......)

2. My timing in rewarding her engagement with the article.

   
   

Goal for next track:

• Continue adding distance.

• Play article games in more public settings.
