Snitch killed it on the car search this morning other then an aggressive alert once, he just turned 6 months .
His food drive is a little higher then his toy currently, but I know it will increase and its still easy to work with because I use multiple different rewards and reward schedules, not to mention the slow maturing. I also use both indirect and direct reward, but mainly direct currently because I want that search strong as hell. In this search I have food and a rolled up towel, some of the areas he searched , he just ignored the food which surprised me.
If your dog is lacking drive in certain areas don't be afraid to back peddle to food, food will 100 percent increase the hunt in your dog if you know how to use it and transition to toys.
This dog knows three commands. search, track and find it , I want him to be independent and learn how to search himself and problem solve , I'm just a dummy with a leash. I have not detailed one time on a search pattern, I just know how to reward where I want him searching.
I love this little dude
