Ah ha! Article indication! This is what we are working on right now, and I have
just the BEST method that someone has put me onto. This has you NOT teaching the
article and the track together. There is a video link to a guy called Steve
(White??)'s site, and I think there's a sound track, but I don't have speakers
at the moment, but could still get it just fine. Will find the link and post it.
Basically you teach the dog to sit in front regularly, then link that to
touching an article. In about 15 mins today, I had Zed (the girl I am working
on) touching it in my hand, then on the floor, even when I threw it a few feet
away, and eventually right up the hall. And this girl has not done any obedience
yet, so has never been taught to 'Touch'. I will now add the sit, and then take
that out onto a track.
Zed doesn't pull, she's a tiny bit of a princess, and goes at a lovely,
dignified pace. Phantom and Boss I have not started until I know what I am doing
- I am afraid that I will get dragged around like a plow! I am actually going to
have some lessons with a trainer/judge who has GSDs. I figure she will have
experience with pullers. Will pass on anything I learn. I have heard of one Wei
in the past that they had to put the harness on upside down, with the tracking
lead under his stomach, and between his hind legs. I reckon that will be Boss!
Perhaps grass skis?? LOL
Will go and look for this link for you.

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for that!
No, there won't be a dual this season. I can't get to enough trials, and I am
starting to have a little trouble with slowing Kinsler down enough to find his
articles properly. At the moment he is hunting like crazy for them and can't see
them for looking! He does the same thing with his toys. It might just be a lack
of experience. If any one in the group has had a similar problem or suggestions
I would love to hear them.
I am looking forward to hearing how Morgan is doing!!
Madonna.
