RE: Training a dog to track...
I used to keep bottled blood in the freezer, actually i still have 2 bottles, lol.....anyway, i'd defrost them throughout the year andI'd have mybloodhound trail that throughout the yard and the woods across the street, whenever possibleI take my kill and I drag it throughout the yard,deer, hogs, turkeys,heck even a roadkill buck worked...it's in them all.....
one of the hardest things for me to do was trusting her while on the trail...I may think she's off of the trail when she's on it, but you'll learn to trust them and you'll know how they act ,the more time you two spend together.
