Question: How do I get to learn all these to raise the puppy? I mean I understand that being part of a sports club helps but you go there 3 times a week at best and if you have the time. The rest of the days and whole week, you are on your own. I wish you recorded all of these moments and training to make a working puppy course. Is there anything you can recommend? I am thinking about Andy Krugers patreon.
Question: While on walks with my 14 week old Mal (on harness), He becomes hyper-fixated on other people/dogs to the point where he completely ignores my attempts to divert his attention away with food (which was originally working). He's starting to bark, not in an aggressive way, but more so in a way where he's trying to get a reaction out of them. I'm still trying to divert his attention with food, as well as keeping him moving in the direction we are walking, but at the moment, the distractions are more exciting for him. Any tips? Thanks
Loving this content and seeing the progression. My Question for the Q&A is a strange one. I do ANKC style tracking, mantrailing as well as Nosework. My cue for Nosework is "search", tracking is "track" and I haven't done one for mantrailing but will use a different one for that (just to permit airscenting more). The Question - Do you intend to use different cues for an area search vs a track? I was thinking communicating to the dog to find an article or human scent vs a particular indicator scent (or following the human scent to the hide) could be difficult if thats required. e.g in scentwork they want nose on source so my down indication when tracking took some work to fix (agency dogs just need to find the thing so I guess it's a non issue). It's a bit of an airy/fluffy question but I'd like to hear thoughts on how you deal with those challenges or any you have come across.
Nice!!! Keep up the updates. Thanks Jas!
