S*oner0233 said: I read this alot on here but can someone help?

M*le Rider said: ignore, overlook, bypass, disregard, pass over, neglect, slight, evade, avoid, dodge. One of those should work. A dog can do it around birds, or when it sees another dog on point.

kn*nebirddog said: When a dog comes across the scent of a bird and refuses to point it You can tell when this happens also in the majority of the cases... also mostly caused by over correction on birds One cause is where a dog has high drive and wants the bird and a person pours on high correctionon stopping a dog on point There is a dog over in cal where the trainer jerked on and stimulated the dog so much to get him to point or in this trainers situation to stop on a bird scent..the dog now will hit a scent cone look at the owner and tuck the tail and move on to avoid the bird completely ...That is blinking

t*si devil said: Sooner; over here in trials it will debar the dog from further participation.it's categorized as:"ANKC Rules for the conduct of field trials 7.4".... 'quote' any dog that finds and deliberately passes by the point,either thru nervousnes or bad training,is a 'blinker'.a dog that finds,stands for a few moments and then leaves the point is also a 'blinker'.but the dog that finds and then moves on or backwards or forwards looking for the bird that has moved on must not be confused with the abovementioned types. dogs can also 'blink on retrieves/seek dead.'end quote'....
