I do exactly the same thing every evening with the boyz. We go out on the property and walk around. I keep them going in the direction I want by saying, every once in a while, Hey, this way dummy. Its amazing. . .I can guide the dogs off-lead in a general direction that I'm going. . .without error. We manage to get to the pond, swim, walk up the hill, check the back fence, walk around the wood, and meandor back to the house. . .all off-lead with only a few voice commands or corrections.
I could call it tracking if I wanted to. You know, I could walk the route before I take them out and then set them on the track and we could then take our walk. I could even leave some things sitting around on the way. . .they'll find some of them?
Gee Robert, that's exactly what I do, didn't realize I was tracking!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Didn't even realize what a good trainer I was.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'll keep Fanni on a tracking line, THANKYOU!! :rolleyes:
Are you trying to tell me that when they find an article they are not supposed to grab it run around come back to you and play bow??? No wonder I have been having a hard time with this tracking/walk thing.
Todd, bringing back the article is optional. Mine just run like hell when they find something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
