About Tracking
Finding evidence and finding the person!
This is a Gold Level Dog Sport; it has changed my world and brought me so much joy learning about and training a Tracking Dog.
In Tracking, a trail is laid out by either yourself or another person (tracklayer). This trail can be anything from a few hundred meters to well over a kilometre. The tracklayer drops articles (socks, gloves or other items) on the track for your dog to find and indicate they have found some evidence that the person was here.
We teach this through a series of fun training games that all come together, building a tracking team of you and your dog.
In the warmer months we build tracking skills and in the cooler months we track.
