The tracklayer places a piece of food on top of the glove, and shows it to the dog. The dog is allowed to immediately get the food on the glove, and should be praised for doing so. After doing this a few times, most dogs get excited about this new way to get treats. If another reward other than food, such as a toy or even the glove itself is more interesting to the dog than the food, then use that. The key at this early stage is to motivate the dog to find the glove, with whatever he associates with it.
Food normally works best for most hounds.
The tracklayer should then turn around, with a piece of food on top of the glove, and show the dog the glove and food, just as with the glove work. It is important for the tracklayer to be behind the dog and handler, and not moving, when the dog is allowed to find the glove. This is to minimize the distractions of any movement, and to encourage the dog to find the glove, not the tracklayer. This means the tracklayer walks out to the second flag and back again, walking the same track twice. Double-laid tracks will be used for at least several training sessions, until the dog begins to use his nose to find the glove.
