We had our first Urban tracking offering today. I'm envious. Its rare in our area to be able to track in the snow. The student got to have her dog do its first tracks in the snow. it was interesting watching the dog start off going everywhere at first, and then, over several short tracks, started to follow the scent.
Its great to see the early progression because you see much progress in the first few sessions.
We noticed that the ground was fairly clean when we arrived. That is - there was little traffic through the area that we were going to be tracking in.
The pup is a Weimaraner who has lots of energy, not much of an attention span, and highly excitable. We'll have to use some calming techniques to get him to settle down before the tracking session starts.
