If you want a dog to be accurate, you've got to be willing to correct them when they are not!
There's a world of difference between a coondog and a lumber locator.
Dogs are different. The dog I own now, I had to correct her about getting bogged down on track and staying in one area and mopping it. Not all her tracks were like that. Maybe 60% was though. All I did was go in and get her by the collar and fuss at her and make her go on up the creek. Several times of that, she aint even the same kinda track dog anymore. I enjoy hunting her way way way more now. Now, on the other hand, a dog I used to own, she was just naturally accurate. She just took almost any kind of track at all and moved it out good and quick and treed the coon. She had flaws in other areas, but she could find the coon, naturally.
