1st training lesson today
Didn't go as smooth as I had hoped it would, but it was my/her first try at this. Guess I can't expect perfection right off the bat.

I put a piece of raw chicken on a bass rod, and threw it in the yard next door and reeled it in(about 30 yards total). Waited about 15 minutes and put her near the start of it.
2 issues. I don't think the scent trail was strong enough for her first time. and secondly, it rained the entire 15 minutes.
At least she headed the right direction and ended up at the right spot and got a prize (a nice raw chicken heart)

Great idea on the fishing rod. I'm going to use that next time.

There is nothing better than a cur. I always started our dogs on hotdogs, then liver. Have to be careful on liver for I had some that got to were they could wind it. Liver is strong smelling and bloody. Sadie is a good lookin pup

Good luck with the pup. Training them is half the fun.
