In the video Mr Frawley says the RCMP train their dogs to start a wide circle when they lose the scent. Is that done by using the lead and the dogs natural inertia to guide a circle each time I perceive a negative, and it eventually becomes a habit? Or is there a step by step process I should be aware of?
Leerburg- I would be greatly interested in a line handling skills DVD for ttd to supplement the dog training one! :-)

the rcmp trained me , and the main thing about ttd is recognizing the change in the dogs' body language when he LOSES the track .
at that point , you either slow to a stop , or stop dead , depending how fast the dog was moving at the time , and then " prompt " the dog to continue to move in the direction they will inevitably go when they lose the track . you basically turn the same way , and draw the line along with you , but not yank it or pull it in .
the line length will depend on the speed you were working at prior to track loss , and if the line was long and the dog looks like it may be having difficulty picking up the track you may use this opportunity to work your way up the line towards him ( not pull him in to you ) and walk him in that circle , paying absolute close attention to the change in body language when he either picks up the in track he was on , or the new direction of the out track .
