I want to practice on hard service because we haven't done it in a couple of months. Put in what I thought were two simple tracks following curbs.

Track one started in the grass and followed a curb. It did go over a walk way and then back to the curb. It took a right turn into the parking lot. It was more challenging for Saber than intended. I should have done a better job with reinforcement after the turn. But she really missed the turn and would not have found it without help.

Track 2, Saber did a great job. It started in the grass, followed the bus loop curve then took an open left in to the bus loop, back into the grass and the end article was on a picnic table.

She was slow to initially enter the pavement but once she got on the curb was pretty strong. At the turn her head lifted with a clean indication of loss of scent. She checked the area, made the turn, and finished strong
