Damn useless IPO title...

wait, wait now....before you get up in arms, i'm talking about it being useless for police work. yes, that's an exaggeration. my PSD came from Holland with an IPO I title. it was nice that he had decent obedience and had a foundation in tracking, but other than that, just about everything else is useless for our purposes.

now onto my question. we've been working for some time to break him of his search pattern. he still maintains a very IPO-ish search pattern on the area search and building search. by that i mean that he won't ever go too far away from me. he'll go out and then circle back to me. you can almost see him clearing invisible blinds as he searches. we've made some progress but i'm wondering if any other PSD's have had this issue and if so, what did you do to break it? i'm confident that if we continue on our present course we will eventually break him of it, but i'm wondering if anyone had any suggestions that might speed things up a bit....
