Successive approximation is the process of reinforcing steps of desirable behaviors which are getting closer to the target behavior.
This is one of the main benefits of hydration intensified tracking is that there are several ways to incrementally increase requirements to a successful track.
Today we increased distance between reinforcements and added a curve to the track.
The early bird truly does gets the worm 🪱 😅
Exciting times ahead in the online space for the Summerland Dog Training tracking program.

Introducing Jewel the postpartum dobie to hard surface tracking.
Great work from both dog and handler doing an excellent imitation of a vacuum cleaner 🧹💨
If tracking was easy it would be called trailing 😎

Getting ready to kick these off again 🐕
Working the grey zones between soft and hard surfaces.🐾👣🐾
It is imperative we get the dog learning that it can track on hard surfaces as soon as the dog understands how to follow a track.

Like driving a big Ol Cadillac. Watch big Voss man and I travel in style as we traverse the turns and corners of this tidy 200 meter long track. All whilst doing so one handed 🖐️
This dog is a true pleasure to track with. Just set and forget ☺️

Always good to get back out and there with one of my dogs and run a track of my own 🐕
Today I had a wrestle with “Twist” a security patrol dog. She did excellent and fought hard with bad intentions through out 😅
