Thanks, now taking first steps outside
Sorry I see the age at the top I looked on my phone and didn't see it lol, looks like you need to age it more so it slows down and concentrates more this will also help giving longer leash so that she can learn to come back on track on her own, atb wayne
8-10 hrs then 12-14 alter therein to make it easier or harder as you see fit, always for success though so always better to gradually go up and not have the dog fail or need help the biggest thing though is let that dog work the full leash to explore and just because hes off a little doesn't mean its not following, think of the wind or conditions, keep posting, atb wayneWe will certainly take that advice and hope to be on overnight trails by Christmas. It's that line between wanting them to enjoy success and yet not making it too easy. Thanks again.
Just commented to the missus, He 's already ahead with the nose work in the film.

Hi Keith yes, when the dog stops with the nose on the deck she pauses firstly at the begining of the track and then into around 3.15 she stops dead and marks for you, you should show great interest in this even if at first you cannot find anything, she has your a team and its your job to interpret your dog and what shes showing you, if you don't show interest she will stop doing this and its important you pick up on her ways, the first mark is easy to miss but the second is longer. I know you laid this track but something could fall off from the cleave or hair, left. these dogs will show sign for you if you nuture this, other type of dogs will never be able to give you this indication on track, but again slide the leash keep it taught and hold the dogs position without putting it off you then will have a dog you can trust, and also stop mid flow to work out important pieces on track, hope this helps wayne
