Saber's track did not age today due to time but it was fun to watch her. Her transitions included grass, asphalt, concrete, and mulch. Of course I just said her article indications are consistent and today should could not have cared less about articles. She did find something in the mulch fascinating and I ended up moving her along. Most of what she did was really good Near the end of the track (5:45) you see her get pulled into the building and correct herself. I somedays I wonder if she is tracking or guessing but I days like I see her tracking.

My goal was to work on turns. I made two 45 degree turns about 15-20 steps apart at each turn. I also increased food drops. There was one 15 steps after the start and 8, 9, 10 after each turn. I would still like to get Syd tracking straighter and we need to tighten up our starts. Starts for both dogs look like they've gotten sloppy. I think the open turns helped him with his turns. He navigated both well.
