Oh yeah……One of the things you do with a tracking dog is play with them with a leg making it their favorite toy and making it where they really WANT to find it. When I run her on a training track we always play fetch and tug of war with the leg after she finds it. She starts tearing into the leg to the point that I’m afraid she's gonna get my finger and take it off. I’ll likely have to use the E-collar with her some on live deer to keep her off of them. That is my biggest concern with her moving into next tracking season. She’ll start running at lot of real tracks next year and I know were gonna have a learning curve on dealing with the ones that are still alive. Being too aggressive with live deer will get a dog hurt. She’s got a great nose though. She actually puts and keeps her nose on the ground a lot better than my Kopov (hound) did at that age.He probably has a stronger nose when it comes to old cold lines but my lab still seems to have plenty of nose from what I've seen.
