I've put the "track lines" on these sets for Blast and Emma. Looking at these locations for urban tracking, it's no wonder I love the fields so much! This set up was completely different than the first one Blast did today; mainly slushy snow, gravel, puddles, ice. Very different from what he's done up to now. He worked on it with enthusiasm, and did well for his real introduction to hard or different surfaces.
Blast is at his start. I've put down 3 treats in the form of a triangle to encourage him to stay a little longer on the start and not rush off.
He's moving off very nicely on his first leg. This is a very short track, but with 4 legs.
Blast has found his first article on the 2nd leg, and is working along the 3rd leg very steadily.
The "X" shows where the 2nd article was, moving through snow, slush, mud, water and ice in the shadow of the building. He's nearing a left turn here.
After crossing the driveway, he has found the final article in the snowmobile track, as I move up to him.
Here we are playing with the article. It is a large white piece of leather, which was folded up and pushed into the soft snow of the snowmobile track, which he had to partly dig out. He thought this was great fun!
