For that, BMH owner Helmut Huber uses special shoes supplied by the BMH German owners’ club.To train the dog to track animals, you ask a friend to set off across country for up to a mile-and-a-half wearing these shoes fitted with hooves – these are a wild boar’s trotters. You have to use trotters or hooves from the same animal and the track has top be as natural as possible. Helmut always transports the shoes upside down so that no scent from the ground accidentally attaches to their soles. Nor, when the shoes are on, does he let the straps trail on the ground He goes to great lengths to disguise the scent of the walker, too, but inevitably some of his or her trail is laid. Helmut’s wife usually lays the trail because, if he did it, it would confuse the dog. The dog would learn wrongly to follow his master’s scent and not the tracks. However, Helmut likes to do his training in areas with an abundance of game so that there are plenty of other tracks to tempt the dog. The aim is to teach the dog to concentrate only on the scent of one set of tracks.“A blood dog needs always to work,” says head jaeger Frau Mueller. “Helmut works Gero three times a week and, if he doesn’t, he must do training exercises. Te dog doesn’t enjoy training so much but Helmut forces him to train.” 3456 x 2304   Keywords:           Product Price Quantity For instant download £50.00 Instant Download We will post you a high-quality 6in x 4in print anywhere in the world £5.00 We will post you a high-quality 7in x 5in print anywhere in the world £8.00 We will post you a high-quality 10in x 8in print anywhere in the world £10.00 We will post you a high-quality 12in x 8in print anywhere in the world £15.00 We will post you a high-quality 16in x 12in print anywhere in the world £20.00 We will post you a high-quality 18in x 12in print anywhere in the world £25.00
