Capella officially advanced to Tracking 102 today — I introduced a turn. It actually wound up being a giant “U” turn — the track looked like this:
Again, an “x” is the approximate location of food drops (small yummy grab ‘n go treat). I used three in quick succession to reinforce her excellent start.

And you can also see that I increased treats in the turning section of the track. When difficulty increases, so should rate of reinforcers.
This is a look back at the gradual first turn.
I measured the track today — just about 200 yards. Capella had no trouble on the track — she is confident and fast.
SO fun 🎉
I hope you are having an equally fun day.
