How do you teach him to circle behind you when he gets lost on a turn?

Single laid (getting dark fast) and 10’ line.  I left the flags on the corners because it was getting dark and I was worried I couldn’t see my line ups.

    Good for you for getting out in the chilly rain! I was hoping to make it out but couldn't get away from my desk in time. I like that weather for tracking because you can take advantage of locations that often have too many people because they're all indoors :)! Nice first leg and it looks like he handled the no food on it w/out an issue. That last turn looked like the line got away from you a bit (understandably with cold, wet hands - even gloved!) - and you could see when he got further out his confidence dropped (this was on my mind from Judi's post). I really like how you overlap his track over yours on your map (and that you include a bit of your approach).

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

2/27/25. Blind Hangman at PSP

Image
 2/27/25. Blind Hangman - phone view   https://youtu.be/eGHwtjU4ANI?feature=shared At 1:29 I saw the head turn and he looked back at me so I slowed down and put a little pressure on the line.                                             Go Pro view   https://youtu.be/QFmWaBCJbFs?feature=shared Great head turn and stare at me at 1:37, 1:38. I think I should have stopped instead of slowed down?? 60 degrees, gusts up to 29 mph, 46% humidity     Laid at 9:25, ran at 10:40ish Good start, good articles, stayed with track The random gloves that were 5 yds past the end of the hangman drew him forward and then he is used to continuing on straight after finding an article, so he went straight on. Andrea stopped us and then we did the back up routine until he found the leg. I was happy with our overall performance.
