Not sure if this worked. I'll publish and check back.  This is video of our last and longest track. I videoed all three tracks but the quality of the video on the other two was poor. This was a fifty-yard track with FD every two steps.  My takeaway is that he's tracking pretty well, and we have much work to do on article indication.  

We did a fair amount of "Oops I dropped it" on our evening walk. The light was too poor for video.  Toward the end he was picking my glove up, looking at me for a treat and then dropping the glove to accept the treat

 Tracked with Nimrod on 12/01/24. An unmitigated disaster. I don't know if I should have given him a day off after tracking class, if he was still recovering from the ravages of antibiotics that treated his clostridium and giardia infection, (The vet said he was no longer contagious), or if it was the unseen dog barking at him, (Always Nimrod's kryptonite).   I laid the track FD every five shuffle steps and then FD after two normal steps, article at the end of track, no food at the terminal flag. Nimrod just stood there, head up, tail down, looking around. I have video which I will try to post.  I tried to wait him out. No go. I indicated the first food drop. He went for it, then stood there head up, tail down. I indicated the next food drop. He went for it, then stood there. We limped to the end of the track in this fashion. He nosed the glove. (No big achievement here. He noses/mouths every McDonald's cup, Popeye's food container, plastic bag and straw we encounter...

 I haven't posted in a while. Nimrod and I have been tracking 2-3 times a week.  I don't use the same field two times in a row.  Nimrod is tracking with a FD every ten steps.  When we run a 200 yard, two or three turn track I see very few distraction or extinction behaviors. When we run a 300 yard, two or three turn track I see a lot of those distraction behaviors.  I'm not sure whether to keep the tracks at 200 yards and increasing the spacing of the FDs or keep the FDs at ten steps and gradually increase the length of the track. I will try to upload video soon. I've put Nimrod on a long line and his tracking improved instantly but I'm having trouble managing my phone and the long line. I got a go pro mini with a chest and head mount. The battery keeps overheating, but I'll keep working on the video piece.
