Editing Balto/Trailing (section)

=== Tips ===

* Record the Trail Laid time accurately — this is the most important variable in trailing training records
* Note all Crossings the trail passes — different surfaces and features create different challenges
* For double-blind trails, have the trail layer write the actual route somewhere so it can be reviewed afterward without compromising the blind nature of the exercise
* If the dog has difficulty at specific crossings, note this in the Notes field for targeted future training
* For line-up exercises, the Subject ID field is the key outcome measure
* Use the [[Balto/Interactive_Map|Interactive Map]]'s track analysis feature to compare the dog's GPS track against the trail layer's track for detailed deviation analysis
