Week 10 - Practice 1

1/20/2025

I practiced 3 tracks in 1 session.

Each track is Double Laid with treats and an End Article.

My husband walked behind me for the double lay and we used a glove of his for the end article.

Had to make another trip to pack the rest of the house in Ga this past weekend.

Session 1:

• Weather: 35F, 34% Humidity,

  , Wind NW 10mph.

• Located at a small woodland park in Williamsburg.

  • Track One - End article, Double Laid Track (video)

    • 60 yd on short grasses.

    • Treats spaced every 4 Steps.

  • .Track One - End article, Double Laid Track (video)

    • 70 yd on short grasses.

    • Treats spaced every 4 Steps.

  • Track One - End article, Double Laid Track (Forgot to press record)

    • 80 yd on short grasses.

    • Treats spaced every 4 Steps.

GOAL FOR THE TRACK:

• To lengthen the spacing for food drops. (See Week 9 Class Blog for Homework notes)

How did it feel?

• Great! A little pausing and drifting but not too bad. I feel like we just had a grand ol' time together and both were just excited to play tracking.

  
  

List three things the dog did well:

1. Staying on track

2. Ready to go and following the track from different starting angles.

3. Taking less time to realize there is an End Article to find.

List things you’d like to improve:

1. Continue working on nice focused walk ups.

2. Bettering my handling skills when she turns into a Ferrari, keeping a good even pace.

   
   

Goal for next track:

• Continue lengthening our tracks.

• Continue stretching the food drops along the tracks.

• Play article games in more public settings.
