Jet tracking

Started Jet on a short 10-ft straight track a couple of days ago. The reason I am working Jet on the straight track instead of the circular track like Kaly is because Jet doesn't seem to have a sense of what is happening on the circular track.

At the moment, the track is about 10 - 15 ft straight, no turns. There is a small piece of sausage at each step. I am holding the leash loosely, and not using it to control his pace nor direction. He works well on the straight track. He is focused, methodical and motivated. He still misses one or two pieces of food on the track. He is good on the first track and would be horrible on the second track. This may be due to the heat, as I have to put him back in the car to lay the second track.
