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.
Along with “normal” walking, let’s have you take smaller steps. Not heel toe, but maybe just 12”between footsteps. He’s definitely getting it, we need to help him a bit more. By the third track he was correcting to the track quite nicely.
