>POLL<Trailing - who trains for it?

Icequeen,

That is what I have read is the best way to do it to make sure that the dog isn't trailing your scent, but that of the game that you want it to trail. I guess the reasoning being that when you get in the field, you want to make sure that the dog trails game and doesn't sit there dumbfounded when it doesn't smell your scent. However, I only got this method from books and from watching DU tv. Haven't really spoken to a professional trainer about it.
