Glad you girls were out tracking. On the live find video, I would give him some amount of time - say 10 seconds- to do his sighthound stare off. Start counting, at 10 seconds I would do something. 'Leave it, come here (to water and resent), come here for a pat and track command, something! He is practicing doing nothing and judges lose patience with that. You did well to shorten the line and support his new leg. But, I would work to maintain light line pressure with no loopy slack.
