    Can you turn your phone so the camera is in landscape mode? What I can see here looks very good! When you hit bare dirt/sand, go ahead and put a food drop in every footstep, and then limit the line to keep him on the track. He doesn’t know enough yet to offer a loss of scent behavior.

 I haven't posted in a while. Nimrod and I have been tracking 2-3 times a week.  I don't use the same field two times in a row.  Nimrod is tracking with a FD every ten steps.  When we run a 200 yard, two or three turn track I see very few distraction or extinction behaviors. When we run a 300 yard, two or three turn track I see a lot of those distraction behaviors.  I'm not sure whether to keep the tracks at 200 yards and increasing the spacing of the FDs or keep the FDs at ten steps and gradually increase the length of the track. I will try to upload video soon. I've put Nimrod on a long line and his tracking improved instantly but I'm having trouble managing my phone and the long line. I got a go pro mini with a chest and head mount. The battery keeps overheating, but I'll keep working on the video piece.

 Video below is from 12/23. 63 degrees.  Objectives for the track: increase duration of focus, practice turns, deal with distraction Nim stayed in the game, made the four turns with ease (almost seemed accidental), and refocused after distractions. Things we can improve: Article indication, speed and precision of track laying. As is my custom, I tethered Nim near the start of the track, then laid the track.  I don't think I'll do that again in a park.  The track was 350 yrds long, and Nim was out of my sight for much of the track laying.  I was very anxious about some kind person thinking he was abandoned.  It's cool enough for me to leave him in the car.  Safer that way.
