Short First Track for Emma

 Tascha wanted to work on a short aged, motivational track for Emma, but also an issue she had run into recently with Emma wanting to reach the grass, when the turn was on non-veg. surface.  So this was incorporated into her first track.  Above, she has turned on to her second leg, after walking through a puddle on the 'other' side of her corner.  No water issue with this little dog!
 Her track crosses a wide driveway/parking area, onto grass with a right turn and out onto another driveway. 
 Emma was motoring through here pretty well, good working attitude.
 The track left the grass and crossed another wide driveway.  Tascha made the turn just before the grass.  Of course, Emma checked the grass, but turned back onto the pavement to pick up the track.  Exactly what this was about!!!  Above she found her first article a little further up the track.  Note!  Hoping Emma didn't exceed the speed limit!!!
 Further on up, there was a left turn which she made nicely, further into the parking lot.
Above, she is checking another corner (it's right) but she double checks left first.  Tascha stands and lets Emma work it out.
 And off she went, finding the article shortly, right on!  This track accomplished the objective...short, fun, including one problem area which was successful for Emma.
 Time to play!  Tug that glove, Emma.  Pull Tascha off her feet!
A few retrieves with Emma racing back to Tascha with the glove - which is almost as big as Emma!  Fun, fun, fun...mission accomplished!
