Here’s Aurora working on a blood track. The blood track is 6 hours old, and the distance is about 250 meters. There are several corners and one place without any blood for about 6-8 meters.
At the start she takes off in the wrong direction, following our footsteps back from the end of the track. We walked past the starting point on purpose to see if see would follow this track or the blood track. So, she needed a little help getting started on the blood track, but once she was on the move she had very few problems following this track.
The place with no blood for 6-8 meters was no problem - maybe still following my track? A bit later I had gone off the blood track for a few meters, and it looks like she followed this track as well. It didn’t take her long to get back on the blood track though, and she found the end of the track with the deer hoof! She was very proud of her job and was not willing to let go of the hoof for a few minutes! 
It’s not easy to capture all this on video, but hopefully you will get an impression on how well she works on the track!

This was our second start in an obedience competition, and it did not go very well! It was the end of April and we had not done any training outdoors at that point, so we were really not prepared for an outdoor competition. Still, it was an experience to learn from… next time we [...]
We have just started doing some blood tracking with the Doxies. We’re really beginners, so we attended the training that Oslo Dachshundklubb had a few weeks ago. We got a lot of help getting started with the training, and now it’s time to continue the training on ourselves!
Here’s Frøya on the move! It’s only the [...]
Aurora’s first obedience competition - Sandehallen, April 25th 2009.
Here’s a summary of the last four exercises:
In the “Down after stop” I messed up, and we got 0 points :-( we were a bit out of focus, the timing of the Down Command was wrong and the command was not very clear. So I made the [...]
Aurora’s first obedience competition - Sandehallen, April 25th 2009.
The Heel is possible the most important exercise in an obedience competition, i.e. it’s the exercise that gives most points (10points x 4 for a perfect performance). Since we did a pretty good performance in the “Walk on a leash”, I was quite optimistic before we started [...]

Forrige helg debuterte Aurora i LP klasse 1! Vi var utrolig spent på hvordan det ville gå; og alt i alt vil jeg si at lørdagen var en veldig positiv opplevelse, mens søndagen var en nyttig erfaring!
På søndag var vi ved Skraperudtjern (Skullerud, i Oslo) og på forhånd ante jeg ikke at dette var [...]
