Oct 17, True Article Indication

- aged 10 min, 5C, no wind, damp conditions -

This is the end of a track which True has indicated

several 2"x2" leather, rubber and plastic articles on

asphalt. Then on grass he tracks over the last 2"x8"

leather article. I hold the line to prevent True tracking

my exit. He walks past the article a 2nd time, picks

up the scent and indicates. True is 10 years old and

has considerably more tracking experience than me.

His indication style is perfect every time. True has

missed articles on grass and asphalt several times.

What can I do to help True find the last article?

- Oct 16, HST "L" Track: Taro

- aged 5 min, 5C, no wind, damp conditions -

Based on several comments from viewers of the

previous posts, my strategy is to work short "L" tracks

with multiple articles and minimal aging. The goal is

to get the dog closer to the track line, build accuracy

and confidence. On future tracks I will progressively

age the "L" tracks in 5 minute increments. On windy

days I will use straight tracks and age 5-10 minutes.
