TBH BLOOD DOG TRACKING, TRAINING, & RECOVERY Thread

[cehorn]

I started another thread but I ended up getting one of the pups I posted about above. His name is Tracker. So far he has been doing well on fairly easy tracks. I need to start making them more difficult and using deer legs, etc instead of just blood. But I'm impressed with how well he has done.

Bloodhound cross?

Bloodhound cross?

Yes. His mom is full bloodhound and his dad is 1/2 Blue Lacy, 1/2 Cur. I have been doing a track per week with him and he has been doing good. I have increased the difficulty in length of track and reduced frequency of blood drops. I have also done a couple just dragging a deer leg with no blood. He has followed every trail I have thrown at him so far but he still has a ways to go.

Last Saturday was his best yet. I took him out to a place I hunt in Smithville and put a trail almost exactly where my son's deer ran this past year. But the weeds were waist high and he did the track at around 3:00 when it was about 100 degrees. He had also ran quite a bit so he was already tired before even starting the track. Some of the blood I put at the top of the weeds (where an exit hole would be) and some I put on the ground. I also had a deer leg but instead of dragging it I picked it up and put it down randomly. He struggled a little but ended up at the end of the trail.

I have really been impressed with how smart he is and how he works the trail. As I said, he is nowhere close to there yet but he is definitely showing promise and I haven't screwed him up yet.

Any suggestions on dealing with ants while training?

So far I have put out either a blood trail and/or drag (deer leg or hide) and left treats (deer liver or deer heart) at the end of the trail. Last night i did a longer trail (500 yards) and waited over an hour before putting Tracker on the trail. I left the hide and a few pieces of deer liver for him at the end of the trail. Knowing ants could be a problem (I have had a couple of other tracks where it has been a problem) I try to put the reward off the ground, so I put it on an old piece of farm equipment. But, there were still ants by the time Tracker found his reward and he wasn't too excited about the treats as a result. So, any suggestions on leaving a treat at the end of the trail? It hasn't been an issue when I have put him on fresh trails but I'm trying to let the trails get a little age on them. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem when I was training my pup as well. I've seen some people use 7 dust or a spray around the treats. I got to where I would lay the trail out let it sit for the amount of time I wanted and when I was ready to let her run the trail I would take the mule and go put the reward out. Made sure I had a back way in to out it so I wouldn't mess up the trail then I would go get her and let her run it.

They make a bowl with water around it to keep ants out

You could always tie it off the ground

[RiverRat00]

Just take treat in ziplock bag and give dog the treat right at moment they find prize, no need to lay it on ground
