12C, very wet as we got lots of rain overnight. Again, no wind. Conditions for a new tracking dog have been amazing these past three weeks. We were in the front pasture this morning because we used the back one yesterday morning.

Again, we worked on arcs to the right. Three tracks this morning. I did no food drops on the scent pad or the opening straight track. The only food drops were on the arcs, about every 5 steps, and the arcs were triple laid. Morley moved out with great confidence on the straight tracks each time and restarted after food drops easily. She felt much different this morning from yesterday morning. More like she "got it". This morning the arcs were a little more acute than yesterday as we move toward doing 90 degree corners.
