Let me know what you folks think about this. When one starts a young dog on the fundaments of foot step tracking i assume that most super trainers go about starting the young dog in basicaly the same way . That is to relate the crush of the ground and the scent this crush brings forth with food so that the animal can be imprited without compulsion. My issue is that plowed ground is hard to come by if you dont own the land or have a tractor and plow. You got high scent ,scent on the grass around the traing track . What do you guys think of a heavy wheel that one could pull behind while walking that would elimnate this stomping in the grass which i would assume would increase personal scent. The wheel in my mind would be 8 inches in width and heavy so there would be a definite crushed earth dynamic in its wake. This would only be used until the dog has a understanding that it is the crushed earth that generates the the reward , food article ,and then one could move on to true foot step tracking in ideal conditions and then create more challenge.

Peter - sorry to say but this makes no sense. Just go out and kick your track in. You are not going to re-invent the wheel of training tracking. There is no substiture for hard work. :-)
