This is another foundation tracking video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFY13iohw4M of my GSD pup Azzi who is now six months old. He also works out his first corner. After the track is finished he tracks back to the flag on his own. I won’t allow this many more times as I don’t want him to think he can go back during a track but thought it was interesting to see the drive his has for tracking. He seems to track as well off leash than he does on.
Thanks Ted for your kind words. He goes for his preliminary hip x-ray next Tuesday and because he is showing pretty good behaviors I am more concerned than ever.(g) I will post some obedience and grip work videos soon, that is if I get some good news from his hip x-ray. Norman
When I determine the dog is confidant on the track I follow behind him at different leash lengths during the track until I can let all 33 feet out for different time frames. This back and forth desensitizes the dog to different pressures on the leash. By confident I mean the dog is more intent on the track than he is on me or where I am relative to him. The one thing you have to look out for is when the dog runs into a problem he doesn’t come back you for reassurance but tries work it out on his own. If he does come back you should IMO you should step back in your training to when the dog was confidant and stay there until he can express that confidence on the track again and then let him track at a longer leash length. Hope that answered your question. Regards Norman
