February 14, 2026 Track 1

 February 14, 2026.  

Learning points from this track is that I am not ready to do a blind track.  I need to know where the track is to better support Lois to make sure she is successful.

 December 7, 2025.  I laid 2 tracks for Lois.  The ground was muddy so I was able to create big scuff marks.  I placed a small piece of kibble every 5 steps.  When I started Lois she appeared to be really tracking and flying past a lot of the treats.  I think the muddy ground really helped her. The second track Lois noticed more of the treats, but it still felt better then our practice session last week.   We did a couple of article games where I threw down the glove and asked her to down at it.   Fortunately I will have a chance to work on muddy ground again soon.

 December 19 I ran Lois on a straight track, 125 Yards with no food drops.  There was an article half way down the track.   The track was 30 minutes old.  Lois is staying more focused without food drops.  However in the future I plan to do one food drop after a turn or halfway down a long track.

 It has been 2 weeks since Lois ran a track, so I asked my friend to lay a short track with 1 left turn.  The turn was marked with a close pin on a tree.  The track was aged no more than 10 minutes. On my property the only "non-polluted" area runs through the woods. The pattern was all skuffs, no food drops. Lois did well, she only took a few steps past the turn, then got right on the track.   She did good indications at the start and the end of the track.
