Spent probably 4 hours on the runners, cold 1 deg. F temps nice sunny, little wind, teams of 4 and 5 running the trails around the yard dragging angle iron and a couple extra drag matts.(Our low budget groomer system) clearing and packing drifts and last nites dusting of snow.
Like a round about in the photo the trials allow many commands, intersections and a run next to the chin-link dogyard fence to work onby command and observe any issues with that, We can loop way around the flood plane and back or up again to the road. A good solid workout and chances to note and work on command recognition, 5 different dogs ran in lead positions.
some solid team thinking from the dogs and
3 month old Babushka and Bella first time in harness today.
Training or Facilitating as I call it.
Lost the 4 - A litter one year old team today, as shown in this photo, not to worried... they were pulling a drag that you can see kicking up snow behind the sled.. got em back right after this shot.
