Start tracks near Duluth trading store. Lots of people with dogs walk this area and let the dogs run in the field. Someone was leaving as I started putting in the tracks. Aged for 45 minutes.
These were 3 left turns, one right.
I am actually not sure if not having turns in the same direction is ok to do for the start track exercise.
My hope is to tighten her initial start from the article/flag, as sometimes she Is not as direct doing an arc in front. Also would like me to work on letting out line at turns as she starts tracking again.
No video.
At T1, sniffed in front to left and right after step out from start, so I hesitated. Then, some casting at turn. With other left turns she did not cast. Except she showed LOS with head up as looked, checked left but then put her head down into the right turn.
Hi Maureen, sorry for delay. Didn't realize you had posted. Nice job getting in a starts session! Did you age all four for 45 min or did you increase age of each by x number of minutes (like 15 min increments)? Next time can you include augmentation used at each turn and any other reinforcement that was used. Also, what did you do to support the start and turn in track 1? And, it seems like you had turns in multiple directions so probably okay. Just keep in mind the directions so you can continue to switch it up.
