Tracking January 18 Saturday

 Track laid 2:45.   Time run 3:30.   Temperature 50.  Wind 6mph  weather cloudy turning into sunny

Humidity 80%

Goal to track in snow/ it felt good 

We tracked in the woods where snow still covered most of the ground, it didn’t seem to be a problem 

3 things well

He was in tracking mode and I had to tell him to wait while I crawled under a half fallen tree on the track he did then we took off 

I had dropped a clothes pin that I used for flagging the track, he found it and got rewarded for an extra article 

Tracked in snow no problem 

Improve on 

Always work on trusting    I saw a flag through an opening in the trees and wondered for a second did we miss a turn? why are we were not going in that direction, then as I followed Zane I realized we were going in a big square and would come to it after 2 left turns

For me to carry extra supplies when setting the track

We did a second short track 

Track laid  3pm.  Track run 345 

An open square/ 2 right turns a little less snow in this area

Goal - just a short quick track going from patches of snow to ground to get in a little extra practice

The winds were really whipping up at this time probably the hardest track we’ve ever had to do. So again I put extra articles and treats.  At the first turn Zane wanted to go left instead of right we went around in circles but he definitely wanted to go to left which was toward the road and houses on the other side.  He then went back down the line from which we came and he noticed a groundhog hole that I hadn’t spotted so once again we went down the line and he still wanted to go to the left and again we did the same circle he definitely wanted to go towards the road  we finally turned to the right , we went a little ways and he found the article , glad I put it there so I knew we were back on track. As we went down the line and got to the next turn he made a huge arc in the opposite direction of the turn and we ended up back where the article w...
