| Tracking Through Drive (3525 words) |
| The dog is expected to track at a slow walk and stay within a couple of feet of the actual footsteps of the track layer. |
| These dogs not only require good defensive drive (which can be difficult to spot at that young age), they also have to have a really strong prey drive, the kind of prey drive that we want to see in our narcotics dogs. |
| In TTD training the dog is taught that even though he can still smell the track leg way past the turn it is unacceptable to go more that 20 or 30 feet past a turn before he gives a negative and starts to circle. |
