Yes I would if they intentionally unlaced there boot or dropped something intentionally so they could delay the cast to tie there laces or go find what they dropped intentionally.
No if the laces came undone accidently or he dropped something accidently then it would not be intentionally delaying.
It is interesting that you delay the cast for the sake of making a ruling, not avoid a ruling on the stationary tree. But you wouldn't do the same for the non hunting dog for the sake of making a ruling and not avoid a ruling. in either case you can't keep the time running as once the 5 minutes are up you are then in the process of shining that tree as long as those dogs are treed. The process is to get to that tree as soon as possible after the 5 tie up dogs and then shine tree.
