If it came down to leaving the track undone because I have exhausted ALL positive motivational methods on the track versus forcing a pup to finish then I (my opinion), would choose to leave undone. Then go home and figure out a way to lay a track that would be conducive to the pup's learning.
The problem is figuring out if:
a: you want to take your pup into the avoidance realm and not to mention the possibility of it transferring over to other training. or
b: not start any bad habits.
I guess you have a legitimate argument but since there are a few options to end and IF they don't work then maybe this is a dog that will never be one suitable for the work anyway. It is a years of training we're talking about...
Last post and I'm out of here. Motivation and training through drive is the best way to teach a dog to track. But it all comes down to the dog understanding that HE MUST TRACK. When a dog hits a problem on the track at a trial he must understand that quitting is not an option. For those who do not agree with that way of thinking let's just agree to disagree. Good luck.
Many times on this board we will see people almost saying the same thing with just different ways of saying it. This was a good debate. Vince said it all when he said "lets just agree to disagree." Thread closed.
