Training Pups

Old man…you’ve made some good points…

The main reason I wrote about roading was to speak about folks who road their dogs and never pay attention to the dogs unless they take a track…this is teaching the dogs to only take hot tracks…

The other thing about roading is if the wind is coming from the wrong direction or the game is traveling towards the downwind side the dogs have a chance to work the track…I prefer the dogs to not miss any potential track that can be followed…if it’s up to me I will not hurry for two reasons…one is the dogs will rest as needed and two…the dogs learn to work all tracks that they can follow…at least that is the goal…the other issues just using common sense as best we can…
