Edgar's aborted track

I had permission to use one of my neighbors front lawn for a short, aged track. I had put in 25 paces, which with my variable gait might have been ?? yards.

I was going to run the track after I got back from running some errands. Then my car wouldn't start. After it was jumped I did the sensible thing and bought a new battery. Blah blah blah and yesterday's root canal I aborted the track. As all dog trainers know, if your mood goes in the toilet don't train.

I'm planning on tracking tomorrow. Tomorrow will be better.

    Yikes! Car troubles and root canals...certainly does not sound like the ideal set up for happy training! I hope everything is better now and your next outing goes more smoothly.

    Good to recognize limitations and hope next one goes better!

 November 15 2025 There were 2 short tracks. Poor Edgar has me for a handler. The first track didn't have enough food drops. The second track, which I put in, I was so busy watching him I forgot where I put the second turn. Edgar seems to be one of my dogs that likes to overshoot the turns. I'll have to remember to back up. My line handling has gone to poop. I kept getting tangled in the line.  Oy Vey. Edgar gets car sick and Mary Ann gave me an idea for the car sickness. It was to put him in the car and let him chill and don't drive.  Build up the time he spends in the car. I hope it works. This evening Edgar and played an article game. He was very good on sitting at the article. He got high value treats on his articles.
