Saturday February 1 track and map


 Time laid - 11:08. Time run- 11:38. Temperature - 47   Wind - 14 mph  weather - sunny humidity- 72%

Goal for the tracks. Turning into and away from a hedgerow 

How did if feel   - we still need to work on  tracking into a hedgerow and turning before the hedge , tracking down the line  the turning out was fine,  I put big globs of food at the turn and every 5ft as directed but still was work to keep him on track away from hedges

after the turn tracks at the hedge, we did 2 straight line tracks

time set 11:25 and 11:50   ran12:15 and 12:38

there were faint straight lines in the grass ,  our goal was to stay as close as possible to the line 

the first line was 100 yards the second 130 , there were visible tracks as the ground was wet and mushy at spots 

felt good he stayed right on the line

    Understandable that the hedges would be hard for him. I think F is food on your map. I can't tell whether the 5 ft reference in your notes is EVERY five feet or five feet going into and out of the turn. But the next time you work bouncing off hedges or woods, double lay it and drop cheese every three steps the length of the hedge. See if more augmentation helps his focus.

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...
