I laid a series of back-to-basic track for Cricket to buoy her enthusiasm. She struggles with the squirrel-issue at Game Farm and then the last two tracks at the cinema were less-than-fun experiences. When we met on Thanksgiving morning to track, Cricket wasn't very interested in playing the game and just muddled through. We'll need to do this a couple of times, I'm sure. We ran her three short tracks (75 yards) first and she did better - aged about 20 minutes.
Then we ran Gimme's track. It was dry and very cold, so I asked Nadine for a fairly simple track. It was aged 45 minutes and the temperature was mid-30's.Gimme took about two-thirds of the first leg to get really into her track. From there to the end she was solid. That red rectangle on her track is where a car was actually parked on her track. I really wish I had video of how she handled it. She came up to the bumper and then stopped and looked at it like, "what the...." She then moved around the car on the left side. As she got to the corner of the front bumper, she put her nose down, sniffed a bit then moved to the center of the bumper before turning a sharp left and motoring down the track.
It's what Sil calls a "cartoon corner". It was really lovely and made the whole track for me. She's such a good girl.
