No worries Katie, I didn't think that for one second
I figured the articles would be useful since it's apparently difficult to transition a dog from FST to TTD and I couldn't be sure from your (or someone else's) posts if a transition to TTD was considered for a schutzhund dog.
I think I may actually end up going with the schutzhund-style FST because it doesn't require having another person hide at the end of the track and would be easier to train (for me anyway).
Then again I don't need my dog to find anything for real
Happy training to you Katie, Elle is such a beauty!

Thanks guys I wil read thru the stuff and see what gives the most entertainment value, I don't charge for performances, yet, but I did make up some business cards for training dogs, home computer repair and gutter cleaning. Like I said before this is for entertainment only, I can't expend the time or money to compete. Taking the kids and dogs to the park around the corner almost every day is pretty easy for me.

TTD is FFF.*
If you want to really stretch his legs, and not lose track of him, follow on a bike....provided you're in a dry, firm, short-grass field. Oh, and don't affix your end of the leash to one of the handle-bars. Why? Well, it's embarassing and I don't wanna talk about it.

*Fun, fun, fun.
Hahaha. Steven, I love your posts, they never fail to bring a smile to my face
The bike idea is great - can't believe I didn't think of that on my own. And here I was trying to get in shape and improve my endurance so that I could keep up with my dog. Thanks for providing an easy way out

The bike is a good idea. I have to admit that I have tried affixing the leash to the handlebars too -- with I bet the same result as Steven -- and I am not gonna talk about it either.
I don't know if you would want to use this in actual TTD but it would help building endurance for long tracks. There is a bike attachment that allows you to ride with you dog and keep your hands on the handlebars. I have ordered one so I can mix up running and biking with my dog to build our endurance.
