Tracking Lesson #4

Moto had his 4th tracking lesson this past Friday. It's very cold here in the Midwest and the wind chill factor that day was about 32 degrees and it was HOWLING out there. My trainer decided to up the ante and lay a track with 2 turns and let it age 15 minutes. Not a problem for Mr. Moto! He did get lost on the very first turn but stuck with it, found the scent and drilled his way to the glove. Amazing. We laid another track so he got to work with the wind, against the wind, and with it coming from either side. He doesn't like going into the wind much (zig zags) but he's extremely precise in any other direction. With the wind he either trots or runs! What a little guy, so young yet he can do this. It's thrilling.
Sunday Five Dogs were given a bath by the Blonde. It was an all-day event as every dog was bathed, blown-dry, combed, ears & nails done. Now everyone's coat is so soft!
With two days off from Obedience Moto was really on the mark today. He really was lovely. Great attitude and he seemed very pleased with himself. I still wish for more drive as he's happy and not stressed, but he's always happier to stop working *sigh*. But I'll take what I can get - he is only six months old.
