[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2960576, member: 113417"] Truer words never spoken. I've got 4 GSP bird dogs and you have to trust the dog. They figure things out pretty quickly- don't heavy hand them. When my dogs are pups I start them on tracking drills. I use a hot dog on a string- drag it around and leave bits and pieces here and there. I get their nose down to the ground and use the command "Track". I did three short videos for a friend of mine that wanted to teach his dogs how to track. I would recommend starting any dog on learning the command and task for "Track" first before throwing the dog into a 'live' scenario. You want to set your dog up for success as much as possible so neither dog or hunter get disappointed. You just throw a dog into a live scenario and expecting a positive result isn't too helpful.

I still run these drills with my dogs- they love it and get a snack to boot. [/QUOTE]
