On certain Saturdays each month at 9am (rain or shine), Sutter, Willow, Emma and Mya hop into the Van and we travel to Bernardston Massachusetts (with lots of
yummy chicken reward treats packed) to join the PVKC group for Scent Tracking sessions ... some Saturdays, some of the girls have a good session and some not so good sessions ... today's session wasn't good, not even "so-so" ... it was
AWESOME ... even baby Mya worked like a "pro" on just her second time out Tracking!

| Willow's Track ... 300 yds |
Map may be difficult to see or understand but simply, it "Starts" on the lower left and follows the box line all the way to the "Finish" on the right side ... each dog has a differently configured map, the corners are marked with a small flag and the track is aged over an hour ... the "Track-layer" drops several objects such as a leather glove, cloth sox, wallet, or even something plastic along the way and the dog has to indicate or pick it up (and in return gets a treat reward) ... there may be deer poop, hiding birds that fly up, or even vermin holes along the track and with encouragement, the dog has to keep working and "pushing on"!
Next
AWESOME day was Mya's first "Conformation" Dog Show ... a 2nd and a 4th placing:
