January 21, 2023 - Tracking Class (obstacles - bouncing off & entering)

This was the first class following the Jan 7 class where we struggled. Mila did what she could but she was too tired from the previous two days of activities (adding this hear to remind myself to really adjust if this happens again).  I gave Mila two weeks off from practicing tracking to clean her palate so to speak.  Was happy to see a return of her motivation this class!

Uploading map from today's class which was the track where you go to edge of woods, bounce off, and then turn in the field go back to woods and enter this time, etc. 

Article on every turn except woods-exit turn.

Mila did great - nice start, overall nice article indication, really nice first turn in the field. Got a bit lost on entering the woods (too far to the left of the entry point) but Mila found the track again (with a little guidance from Ralph) and then went very well to wood's exit, then she had to cross the opening and go over to the next section of woods. She investigated some but then committed back to the track to get across the opening. Would like to strengthen woods entry more.

  Goal - work on elements of TDX style track particularly bouncing off, working alongside, and entering the woods. Things I liked:  Mila...
