What a great write up! 👏 AnnIE is inquiring about Mooney’s shoes 😅 Mooney wears hunnyboots all the way from Melbourne because of his disability. He gets corns because he puts more than the normal 70% of his body weight on his front paws to counter balance his shorter hind leg. Since we mostly trail in urban areas he wears his boots to protect his little sensitive feet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 And the lovely photographs by you to show off your handsome boy! How did you think to get Mooney started in tracking? I see where it says you were looking for an activity outlet for him, but it's not something I'd immediately associate with sighthounds.

How did you think to get Mooney started in tracking? I see where it says you were looking for an activity outlet for him, but it's not something I'd immediately associate with sighthounds. It was a coincidence. My mum is a trainer for search and rescue dogs. When they had some teams tjat needed to pass their tests the judge stayed at my home. He himself is a trainer for tracking dogs and we talked about it. I mentioned that I liked it but didn't think itbwould be something my dogs can do. He said that every dog with a nose and legs can do this kind of work. You just have to find the right way to motivate it. He even took a look at the harnesses I use for long line training and he said they were okay. This kept me thinking and I joined a seminar on mantrailing soon after. Both Abu and Mooney had a great time. They understood what they had to do right away. We are tracking for a year now and even though both dogs have a very different way to work, they have a lot of fun. We will never reach the degree of official trailer because you have to pass a test with the police and they are very biased if your dog is not a typical tracking dog like a bloodhound or some kind of shepherd. But we habe a great group with different breeds and meet every friday with our trainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccamcl Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Wow, Nadine, this is great.

They develop more confidence because in this setting you habe to trust the dog to decide which way to go. The dog leads, you follow. And in return the trust your dog has in you develops, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
