Kerrie’s tracking is coming along! That’s a good thing, since the local tracking tests are coming up. This track was 360 yards long, 3 turns, with spacing of reinforcements at about 20-25 steps. I’m in the process of reducing the reinforcements and increasing her understanding of turns, so next we’ll work on dog-eared turns.
