I hope it will inspire more people to start tracking with their dogs and don't think it can only be done by GSD's :)Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-68863937177107383732010-11-02T00:13:43.297+01:002010-11-02T00:13:43.297+01:00I find your blog on tracking fascinating!

There is a lot more to the competitive side of things than I realised.<br /><br />I can definitely see how food would get in the way. As soon as I pull out a treat my dog's focus is immediately on me, which I want for agility but may not want for tracking.<br /><br />Interesting stuff.Kristinehttp://rescuedinsanity.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-28076815091803891542010-11-01T00:16:57.245+01:002010-11-01T00:16:57.245+01:00Thanks, although I will ask "the cameraman&qu...Thanks, although I will ask "the cameraman" to film a little more from the side so Kenzo is more visible :) And thanks for the blog link!Team Kenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113604410676702370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837788668443543592.post-16872132278785732022010-10-31T19:24:02.159+01:002010-10-31T19:24:02.159+01:00Treats depends on the dog AND what kind of trainin...Treats depends on the dog AND what kind of training you are doing with that dog. Jersey is a very "what's in it for me?" dog and won't do anything without a treat, while some dogs work for the sheer love of it.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the video, it was nice to see Kenzo in action :) BTW, I noticed that you blogrolled me and I have done the same for you on my blog.

I'm not a trainer, but I've always used treats to start training my own dogs, but then I slowly back off the goodies once I have consistent attention--then I use praise. Interesting to note how treats may get in the way of focus and natural ability.Mary Haighthttp://www.dancingdogblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
