Tracking

Tracking is the sport of teaching a dog to follow a track made by a person, specifically following the ground disturbance/crushed vegetation, and indicating on any dropped articles along the track.  The dog is learning to follow human scent but specifically the path they have walked (or as close to it as possible). This is a great addition to Mantrailing to teach your dog to be more accurate on ground scent and gives you another tool to add to your scent sports where you can practice with your dog without needing anyone else to be involved. 

​

We work the dogs individually in tracking. This does mean your dog needs to be comfortable resting in vehicles between turns. The introduction is at a quiet location where we use fresh ground for laying tracks, progressing from there we will meet at different locations which will be in public areas.
