Brad Gillespie: Canine Tracking

In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw and Brad Gillespie discuss:

The basics of training tracking and the process of starting that process.
Challenges and benefits of laying master track, different reward systems, and tracking versus trailing protocols.
The factors at play in a live operation and the opportunities that tracking can bring.
The importance of communication with the dog in any tracking behaviors.
Component training in your daily tracking practice.

Key Takeaways:

Tracking is an interpretation of the dog's behavior.
Be predictably unpredictable.
Slow your dog down on tracking - it is always possible to speed them up (and they will often do it on their own).
There is not one solution for everything. You have to take the operational environment and what the operational end state is supposed to be and that drives everything else.
The best way to get better at tracking is to track.

"Embrace the struggle and the challenge. Dogs require incremental and obtainable struggle. We all do. That is part of the learning process." — Brad Gillespie
