thats a good analogy , i think joey . when training young dogs on cattle ive watched them work a trail where ididnt think they should be . finally i just shut up and let themm figure it out . seems like they have to go to the edge of that boat wake and then go down the side of it in the direction that its strongest . depending on the wind and terain that wake might be right where they went or it might be stronger over against a hill or tree line where the scent has something to stick to.

                          id give anything to be able to get inside a dogs head and listen to what their thinking sometimes , it would make me a better trainer for sure .
