January 25th, 2025 Tracking Class

We had class today at Holly Ridge with Mary Ann. Again this was super helpful. Jen went over the rotation what we should start training on. I am going to try and figure out what works best with my schedule. Other things I need to work on leaves tension. Also track laying in general.

Track 1 was laid by Jen. It was 100 yards with a left open angled turn. Food drops every 6 paces. She tied a retractable leash to my raccoon skin. At the end of the track Mary Ann stood away with the leash and jerked it one good time. The idea is to get Finwe excited about the ending article. it worked!

Track 2 was more of an article exercise. Numerous articles were placed on a straight track. Two dogs then leaped frogged from article to article. They seemed to enjoy it!
