Tracking went okay. Not as good as I would have liked, she lost the track twice but found it very quickly without circling around (at least the second time.) It was about 55 paces long, pretty short. I always end my tracks with a few steps with no food in them and she seemed to follow those steps really well today. I haven't tracked in about a week, so I need to stay on top of it or she starts losing her ability. I think a few more weeks of this and we can start taking food off the track and introducing articles.
Obedience today was subpar. It could have been a lot better. Right now I am not strong enough to give her a correction she respects, so I'm acclimating her to an ecollar. It's my friend and helper's Dogtra 1200NCP. I should be able to start using it within the next week or so. Her out of motion sit was better today but only when I give her a little pop reminder when I say "sitz." I need to phase that out. Hopefully with the ecollar things will really start to shape up.
I got bit by a cat at work yesterday on my finger that I use a lot when I give corrections so my corrections are extra weak today. Bleh.
Her "hier" is coming along nicely.
