January tracking

Laid his track, avoided kids playing near end of track, let it age and as I was getting him ready, people with a dog arrived to play fetch and soccer near start. Possibly the flag and article made them stay off to the side a little bit. Duck got to the start, downed to indicate article and then distracted by the golden retriever, who was being really well behaved and not actively trying to engage Duck, at least as far as I could tell. In dog speak there was likely communication going on. Eventually, Duck started tracking behavior. He took turns well except for on short leg where he tried to short cut There was a steady breeze and except when he was heading into it, he was slightly off the track to the left.

Tomorrow we will do some start tracks.
