Yes.
And I continue.
When my dog can handle that on the side, I go to the track with my food.
First time, not the second time, not the fifth time.
Slow.
And then I can tighten the line up and give my dog the opportunity to go with the higher speed.
And then I say slow again.
This is the only tip I will tell everyone.
Before you start a track, have communication with your dog.
Don't make 10, 15 tracks with tight lines because when the dog pulls you in the line, he will miss the step, the smells from the step.
It's not possible for a dog with full power in the line to recognize every piece of food or every step.
They are pulling you and they want to go forward.
And in the end of the track is very happy.
Amateurs, minimum three, two, three, four times a week if possible.
And give the breakfast in the track if you can.
Or the night dinner in the track if you can.
Professionals, I can tell you, during a certain time when I teach my dogs, you can make five, eight tracks a day.
Not super long, everyone.
But the routine, the tracking flag...
The car, the roads, the different angles, everything.
