I'm having a problem with my SAR dog.

Sooo, I figured I would put myself out there and see what the Search and Rescue community had to say.  My problem is that Elphie isn't actively searching for scent but is letting me blunder into the scent cone where she takes off to complete the find.

Well, I posted on the K9SAR group at Yahoo Groups ( Sorry folks you can't get in if you aren't on a team).  One little paragraph... just a couple of sentences.

 Over 60 responses in 3 days.  Wow, I sure wish I could tap into this sort of traffic with my IM stuff.  There are responses from as far away as Spain. What a wonderful community of dog trainers.  There are good responses and bad but I think I now have a plan of action to get Elphie over the hump.

So, if you are able to tap into a group of like minded people( Pick your Forum) Ask a newbie question and see what happens.  You might be amazed.
