Did articles track in the light dusting of morning snow. I put food in all articles as River is not a dog that lies in snow and wet ground.

I also had a fleece jacket on her and this lead to the problem that the harness doesn't fit over it. If it's cold and she needs a coat I will have to do a start routine with putting both on her in the vicinity of the start. It's probably a good thing that I have the next size up in the same harness as that on fits over the jacket.

As expected, she turned to look at me while standing over the article or pawing and sniffing it. I did ask her to down and she did it briefly but bounced up quickly after getting the food reward.

On the positive side she moved easily to the articles and stopped, stood and pawed them.
