Bonnie, thats for the input. I do certainly realize the cueing that goes on without me knowing I do it, and I know I did it on my ACD. I know I do it with all things I do, I teach special ed. so I am very skilled at cueing to get the right response. Its how we shape the correct response , then we begin to fade. I probably do it without even thinking about it.
So to test myself, the police guys hid one source in a small area. She worked exactly like she did on Sat. Which is, I send her ahead of me. I do not work close to her...she doesn't like that. She circled the perimeter, and then we made some sweeps. She found it quickly, nosed on it, play bowed and stayed on it, while I confirmed the find.
In my mind I have worked slowly...much slower than I did with the ACD and GSD. I could be wrong though. I dont really think she is ready for cemetary work, but on the other hand, it was an experiment. One that I think she liked.
YOu too, have given food for thought, and I will think over these ideas. I most certainly will buy more bone and work on my alert. Thanks for the insights. rt
