Today, I got to do some tracking with Joey. I laid a one turn track with about 50 steps altogether, and one article. Joey tracked very well up until the article. Joey always freaks out whenever he sees a article on the track. So today I decided to practice articles at home where Joey is more relaxed. Over all I think Joey might have caught the concept of the article. Next time I will see how he does with the article on the track.
Joey eating treats off an article.
Oh, and for those who don't track, when the dog comes to an article while tracking, the dog has to indicate the article by either lying down, sitting, or retrieving the article.
I am trying to get Joey to lie down when he sees the article.
