Looks like it rained overnight (damp concrete)....so, the fields were very wet. Temp at 14C, tiny breeze from the NW. Laid two tracks west to east and slightly downhill. Breeze following the track, so not causing any drift of scent across the track.

I only put down two tracks this morning but both were over 100 feet long. First one had food drops every 6 paces, the second one I spaced the food drops out a bit more. As long as Morley continues to have a deep nose and keeps close to the track, I'll increase the spacing on the food drops each day to encourage her to find the track first, then the food drops. She's putting good weight into the harness and is moving off the scent pad readily.

So far, I haven't "aged" the tracks at all, we're running them fresh. I'd rather add the distance first, teaching her to work for longer periods of time. After that I'll start putting curves in the tracks to teach her that tracks aren't always straight lines. These will eventually become 90 degree turns. Once that skill is in place I'll age tracks a bit. One skill set at a time in tracking!
