Search And Rescue with Trailing Dog Griz
Hey there. So, here we are with Grace. She's 11 months. We're doing search and rescue training. We're up here in Colorado. >> Sit. >> First, we're going to get her on the scent. This is a scent article from one of our hiders. >> Got it. >> And then we're going to send her off. We'll switch her to the long line from the short line to the long line. We had some problems with this line later on in the video, you'll see. It's a 30-ft nylon or webbing. It's 30-ft webbing leash. It gets tangled up pretty easily, so that's a good learning point here. You'll see a few times in the beginning, she'll do some crittering. And what we'll notice from this video is when she's off scent, she tends to do circles. >> I call it dizzy dog. >> And so that is my cue, which I missed quite a bit towards the end of this video, is when she does circles, I need to pull back to where she was last on trail. So, we need to be paying more attention to that sort of thing. >> Call the boy and his dog at the end of the world. >> Ooh, I like her size. Yeah. All right. So, um >> She's following. Trail. >> Oh, she got a whiff of the smell. You see the orange flags? That's what Paula used to mark the trail. >> are I did it I already did it. >> Little bit of crittering there. Looking in a rabbit hole. >> Trail. >> I think we're a little up the hill from where we should be. Go ahead and go for a hole. One second. Crittering? Get back to work. Trail. You can see that orange flag down the hill a little bit. Oh, she's on it now. Nose down. Good. On scent. Another orange flag. Road crossing. She's not super good at these. We haven't really practiced them. She went across early. Hey Gibb. She thought it was straight across. Okay, look. Her nose is down. Right there. Turn. There she goes. Look at that. Now we're on it. One scent. Road. Didn't cross it. Quick negative. >> Negative. >> Right up on the flag. A little bit extra smell that's called on the flag. There's the road crossing. Confidence. In here in these trees, it starts to get a little hard to manage this leash. I think I'm going to get a shorter and slicker leash for this stuff. She does that a few times where she gets a little ways ahead and then does a loop around the trees. >> I lose it. >> I think at this point in time we'd passed Paula and it's got Grace confused and um I think they were calling it over hunting. And Grace is uh trying determined and going too far to try and recover the scent. She thinks that it must be out there because I'm following her. >> What do you think? We lose it? >> So this is the point in time where I needed to recognize that and all the circling and all the looping around and the lacked confidence. I should have pulled her back and we should have went back up the hill earlier. >> Grace trail Let's go back. Come on. Oh. >> Trying to pull her back up. The leash gets tangled up. She thinks I'm trying to tell her to stop. That's pretty obnoxious. There's the rest of the team. They didn't want to continue further cuz they didn't want to go further down the trail than where Paula was. The scent must have pulled up and um drifted down that hill a little bit. We need to stop her from going down there. >> Oh. Sorry. >> Let him go first, guys. >> I trail. Now we got a lot of people up here. This isn't something we've practiced too much of. This stupid leash getting tangled up again. Chris. I don't remember where we came across that. Pull him back up before we get too far down the hill. Caroline telling us to go to the place of last seen. Let's go. Trail. Chris. This way. Oh, she's like there's Liz. Rechecking the smell. I check. Trail. Spot line that we last knew that she she was on the trail for sure. And then we're head back down. Nose is down. She looks confident again. She's not circling the trees. She's heading in a straight ish line. That's what we're looking for. There's the circling. That's a negative, right? Yeah. Circling again. >> This way? Come on. >> Tangling up the leash when she circles. That's when she's not on the on the smell, so that's good to know. Nose is down again. There it is. We were right next to her the whole time. Dang. >> Down. That's down. Good. Park it. Good girl. >> Good job. Good job, Jackie.
Casting Games
Hey there. Saw a video on the internet. I thought I'd copy her um new dog trainer. She's doing uh she called it casting casting game. She's got a anxious border collie she's had there for I think she said 12 days and she was doing this game called cast she called it casting game and the idea is to give the command to send out send the dog away from you and she's going to a place position and then she reels the dog back in and then cast the dog somewhere else. So we're going to do kind of the same thing but I want to talk through it a little bit more than she did. So what we're doing here is we're going to be generalizing the place command at different distances on different items of different sizes and different uh surface materials. What we're going to be using she was using negative reinforcement and um praise which is a form of positive reinforcement. We're going to be using a continuation marker of and we might use a little bit of food for the box jump to get her into a sitting position. Um and then and then uh we're going to use the ball as her release command for her release marker. So we're going to go ahead and get started with it. What it's going to look like is I'm going to point to something. I'm going to tell her place and then she's going to go to it and then I'm going to tell her good and we're going to sit there for a minute. Then we're going to reel her back in and then we're going to send her somewhere else. This is what it looks like. Here. Place. Good. Here. Place. Good. Down. We can do positions if we want to. Stand. Place. Place. Stand. Good. Good. Here. Here. Always We always want them to go to that full command, you know? So, place. She's nervous on that. Sit. She's not going to sit, so we're going to go ahead and give her a a little continuation marker and a food. All right. I'm going to come up here and I'm going to tell her she's a good girl and lure her with a little bit of guidance. Sit. Sit. Nothing to it. Place. Ooh. Yeah. All right. You guys can see the chair. Now, we're going to give her the reward. Here. First, we're going to lure her back in. Like I was saying, here. Look at that. See how she knows it's in my pocket. Yes. Oh, yes. Good girl. Come. Come. Come. Come. Yes. Out. Out. Out. Good. Now, we'll get her come up and go faster. Place. Good. Get up. Place. Stay. Here. Place. Good. Here. Place. Place. Good. Here. Place. Nope. Place. Good. Here. Spin. Release. Yep. That's it. See what she has to Maybe she'll reply to me.
