What a difference two days has made in many areas. Lots of bare places so we had a few choices. What's called for tonight? SNOW!!! But this was a lovely day.
First leg heading towards the cement bandshell. Ground here was just mush. When I laid the track, the fellow on his bike came up into this area and rode/walked around, just after I finished going through. And then he was still there when Tascha and Emma began their track.
First article on steps. Will be interesting to see what she does 'inside'....
Emma couldn't have cared less about this fellow in there, and she was right on her track. This was a very hard place for her to work in. Tascha is working on 6' leash to stay right on the track.
Heading down the ramp (where the bike fellow came up), she will go out onto a bit of gravel area and then into (almost) grass. Emma did a nice corner in the bandshell.
They've found a cloth article, made a right turn, and are heading up onto a nicer area on a little hill.
This was a long leg, and there was a small plastic canister on it. Emma heads right out onto brick walkway, and will be crossing driveway shortly. She's doing wonderful on the hard surfaces.
Piece of food there, she's barely been more than 2' from the track.
After the driveway crossing, another brick pathway and I went into the bush/perennial garden and actually "meandered" through it. She was dead on my track. We come out onto grass and then down onto the paved parking lot.
A turn coming up on the pavement and she is working so nicely here.
Emma veered off very slightly (yellow line) from the track, and went up over the curb onto the grass. She quickly indicated loss of track and searched for it, coming back down over the curb to the final article. It was a small plastic gift card, which is not a normal final article. I thought Tascha gave me 5 articles, and couldn't figure out what happened to the leather one when I was nearing the end portion of the track. As it turned out, there wasn't one, and so Emma did really well with her four articles.
