This set of nine IGP tracking articles gives you three each of leather, wood and felt for training article indication in the tracking phase of an IGP / Schutzhund trial. It is for handlers training tracking at club level or preparing for a trial.
With three of each material you can lay a full practice track with several articles and still keep spares, and your dog learns to indicate the same way on all three trial-standard materials.
Specifications
- 9 trial-compliant articles: 3 x leather, 3 x wood, 3 x felt
- Length: 10 cm
- Width: 2.5 cm
- Height: leather 0.5 cm, wood 0.85 cm, felt 1 cm
Use them for Schutzhund tracking practice, foundation article work with young dogs and trial preparation at every IGP level. Mix the materials on each track so your dog doesn't come to expect one type.
How trainers use it
Article indication is usually taught away from the track first. The dog learns to down calmly at an article and is rewarded there. Articles are then placed on short, simple tracks and spaced further apart as the dog improves. Trainers often carry the articles for a while before laying them, so they hold the tracklayer's scent. Keeping a set that is only used for tracking helps keep the articles clean and free of other smells.
