January 9, 2011. 11am.

Went out today to take advantage of the weather conditions but I plan to give both dogs several days off after this. No new snow since yesterday. Clear and crisp with temperatures about -8C.

Realized today that I need to mix up running order, so ran Rivet 1, Caiman 1, Rivet 2, and then Caiman 2 & 3.
Rivet























DistanceR+SprayNotesSuccess
30 treats (~240 ft)5-10 footstepsnoneGentle curve through trees. Some old crosstracks. Nailed it! Distracted by another dog and by some interesting smell but got right back to work in each case. Video below.95%
"""Laid track to include part of the foot ball field that had been in use when we first arrived. She struggled somewhat there but kept working. Video below.70%


Caiman


























DistanceR+NotesSuccess
20 stepsbraided fleece rope at endLifted head 1x, got off-track 1x, came back to see me 1x. Restarted when I pointed out the track. Needed encouragement to play with this toy initially.75%
"monkey at endAlmost a repeat as far as checking in with me midtrack. Grabbed toy immediately.75%
""Got off track midway along and lifted his head. Clearly saw the toy at the end but was willing to put his nose back into the track and follow it to the end when asked.75%


Rivet Track One:
For some reason my phone decided to record this video upside down. The result is definately queasy-making. If I figure out how to rotate it I'll replace this but in the meantime I want it for the record.
