When I go for walks, should I give the correction to tell my dog to not pull? I thought that maybe by doing this, it will prevent him from pulling during later tracking events. It seems when I watch dogs track, they occassionally pull their handlers while they do their thing.

I don't use real strong corrections, just little pops so they aren't dragging me. Even puppies can learn this really fast and then it transfers over to tracking. I use a low, calming tone and when the dog/puppy gives me a little slack in the lead then calm praise.... It works well with the dogs I have trained. Hope this helps. Cindy cindyr@leerburg.com
