Judy Cole Webboard User Reg: 10-27-2010 Posts: 12 Loc: Texas, USA Offline	So when is it time to call it quits? When do you know that your pup won't make it as a police K9? We have had Josh since he was 8 weeks old, he has some working dogs in his pedigree so we were hopeful. He's 1 now, he is not skittish but not overconfident either, he has been tracking with my husband since he was 4 months old, he can track a scent roughly 600 yards. This is what we were looking for, a tracking/narcotics dogs to go into the schools. A couple of week-ends ago my husband took Josh to a scent detection training seminar. He came back so discouraged, Josh was the nerviest dog there. Not long ago, he took Josh to a golf course (for the first time), he was fine with the noise, metal clubs being swung, golf carts whizzing by, nothing bothered him. At this seminar they wanted him to stand on a table and he was shaking. We're not sure if it was the indoors, an unsteady table, just a bad day, second fear period, we don't know why. So is it over? Should we stop hoping to have a working dog?
