We've been doing some tracking practice with Mika and are dropping a couple of socks along the track.

Straight tracks are fine, we drop a sock near the start and then another about half way out.

But when the track layer does a turn, are they meant to drop an item at the point they turned.. or is that a no-no?

Should they be dropping it before or after the turn instead?

I don't know about Australia, but if you are doing an AKC track, there will never be an article right on a corner. When I'm teaching corners or cross tracks, I will use food or an article about 10' after the corner or cross track to reinforce that they made the correct decision.
