Good post, Kyle.
Another difference in two is tracking. IPO tracking is an obedience exercise and real tracking is a combination of tracking, trailing, and discernment. I tell my students that tracking is the only one of the three disciplines where the dog is in charge. The dog knows how to get there and the handler doesn't. In real life tracking a dog has to find the track often, the dog has to notice and sometimes investigate visible objects; as in real life folks don't walk/run in straight lines or drop things on scented track. Actually, it's complete opposite, discarded objects are hidden or thrown off to a distance and the dog must have the confidence and latitude to be able to explore and find out if it's pertinent without penalty. The terrain for a tracking dog includes all kind of surfaces, obstacles, through water, and anything a human can think of to elude capture or detection. This is not knocking IPO tracking, just emphasizing that one is a sterile obedience exercise for points, and the other has no dimensions to the scope. I have been handler and decoy for sport tracking, police tracking , and military tracking.....LE and military is similar, sport tracking is entirely different. You would be surprised how many top IPO tracking dogs would have immense problems with VST( variable surface tracking) unless prepared for it. Many LE no longer use food as reinforcer in many depts, but rather scent through liquids on variable surfaces from the start. Different worlds!
