Cutbacks….
The third most common negative indicator is cutbacks.

Cutbacks frequently occur during dramatic changes in direction, such as when an individual has made a sharp turn, or during drastic changes in environmental terrain such as when pavement changes to thick brush.

A cutback can be very small, or can cover a large amount of distance as a dog moves in a circular motion to locate the direction in which odor has traveled. The surrounding conditions will heavily affect how far a dog needs to travel to know exactly where a subject turned. Once the dog completes their cutback, they will resume a rhythm of head turns and/or flowing negatives as they continue along the trail.

A cutback will eliminate every direction besides the one which the dog commits to. In more difficult conditions where odor is moving drastically, or when inexperienced dogs are working, the prevalence of cutbacks may occur more frequently.
