Hi,
I have two questions on dirt tracking. Sticking to the subjest heading for my first question; I realize there is a reason to have a green dog track with the grain of a grass field, in the beginning stages of training, in order to control environmental variables. So I am wondering, on a plowed dirt field is there a need to adhere to this same method? Will tracking across the plowed rows be harder for the dog?
Also, I am looking in the sport tracking archives and just going through them all one by one. I found a post that recommended doing at least five dirt tracks for every one track laid on grass. Can anyone corroborate this advise, and if so give reasons why?

Good morning,
I should have mentioned in my subject line that this is a tracking question. It seems that topic specific subject headings get more attention. Anyway I have done this before.. reply to my own question to keep it active in the hope I'd get an answer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I Think its harder for the dog to not track with the grain , but
seaking for my self i never take that inn to consideration when i start dirt tracking with my dog.
When i got the basic training inn my dog i think it dont mather that mutch . starting with short dirt track`s not folowing the grain .
About the 5/1 dirt/gras i have never done that. I track what ever tracking field i find intresting that day gras or dirt i dosent mather
