1/19/25. Short tracks around fences and woods
1/19/25. Laid these short tracks one at a time, ran him within 5 minutes and put him in the car to marinate while I laid the next one. Food drops varied between 10-15 steps apart. He got better with each track. Track #1. Struggled at the turn into tall cover https://youtu.be/imxw4lYuoHA?feature=shared Track #2 short track from tall cover to short towards fence https://youtu.be/bA4Q4ZZpGu4?feature=shared Track #3 Between 2 fences towards woods https://youtu.be/R9EverPLGJ8?feature=shared Track #4 Parallel woods and turn away https://youtu.be/88B4jnpOJYc?feature=shared

Good info gained - was there any age to the track? I would suggest higher reinforcement rate of food drops next time out in the rain and reinforce with fetch or other fun activity immediately after
ReplyDeleteSuch dedication to be out in that weather!!!! Any idea why you moved as much as you did at the first turn? He fascinated me, he’s clearly tracking, he clearly shows the track when he returns to it, but he seems happiest doing serpentines. We are going to go with this for a couple of weeks and see if it gets better or worse. It’s SO CLEAR when he crosses the track—I can’t figure out why he wont hold on to it.
