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.
Both 13 and 16 are the best I've seen Team Nimrod do!! And for sure the longest!! Yeah you! Nice job staying close, I like the food pattern. The turns were a little hard to visualize but he motors on. In the last couple of minutes on the 16th, you appear to drift to his side. Make a concerted effort to stay directly behind his behind!LOL
