Today Dawn asked me about the requirements to earn the Yellow Star. I reviewed them with her, and just for fun she agreed to try it. She laid a 107 pace track, aged 5 minutes, then got Penny out and got her ready. Penny aced it! Dawn reported that Penny only missed one or two pieces of food on the entire track! Dawn then provided me with three behaviors indicating that Penny was indeed tracking, and three behaviors that indicated that she had lost the scent and was searching for it.
Blogspot has recently added video uploading capability to their site, so with Dawn's permission I'll post it when I get it edited into a short clip.
Next week I had planned to switch from asphalt to dirt. That is now on hold, to allow any other members to try their hand at the Yellow Star tracking requirement. We will be at James Logan H.S. for the test.
See you on Sunday,
Dave Port
