How to Start with Drags
Drag Training Basics
Drags are a means to teach your dog to follow a “trail” to its conclusion. It is not a measure of nose – any dog can follow a highway of scent!
However, it is a measure of the dog’s willingness to retrieve, its obedience and its cooperation. It also shows the dogs inherent or learned ability to persevere and concentrate on the task at hand.
Your dog will be much better prepared to track down those wounded birds in the field as well!
There are several articles and good videos available. Some of them are listed below.
Good luck with your training!
