Future Tracking Star!

It's so much fun doing all the different venues and finding out what each dog excels in - Dusty enjoyed Obedience, Shiloh agility, Blitz Obedience, and I think Mr. Moto is going to LOVE tracking. Honestly this is the smartest dog I've ever had. He went to his very first tracking lesson yesterday afternoon and as he watched, my trainer laid a long track (50 paces) with a hot dog in every other footstep with a glove at the end. I was concerned that the track was too long but she said to give it a go. Well no worries needed Moto took off so fast he actually missed a few hot dogs. He went straight to the glove. He was so fast and so good my trainer asked if I'd worked with him previous to this which of course I hadn't. So we laid another track with the same results. WOW! So we tried one more where my trainer held Moto as I laid a track. This time he was a bit more methodical and made sure he got every single hot dog but his head never went up, never looked around, he stayed true to his work and went right to the glove. Amazing.
So we will do some tracking and hope to certify in the spring. I was very proud of my baby boy!
This weekend Shiloh and I are off to an agility trial. I feel good and confident. I've struggled with remembering courses but I'm not going to let that get in the way of our qualifying this weekend. Shiloh deserves to have a MACH but it's up to me to remember those blasted courses. He's a good fast consistent runner and can do it if I can hold up my end of the bargain.
