Tracking – 11/04/2011
Haven’t posted in a while. Laila has been very busy with a new venture that we are quite excited about. More news on that later, so check back!
I would like to trial Laila in the spring. Her tracking is very nice. We track a Schutzhund 1 length track with articles. Her article indication is very nice with a very focused, ‘nose pointing right at it’ indication. I have cut way back on the food and will continue to do so over the next couple of weeks to where there are just a few pices of food on the track.
I taught the article indication a couple of months ago off track. I would show her the article, get her excited for it, toss it on the ground. When she went to investigate, I platzed her and fed her bits of food at the article. This went quickly and we had nice article indication in just a few days.
