Beginner Tracking

All tracking classes are held outside for two to four hours. Students learn to track their dogs, lay track, and learn from watching other students working their dogs.  All dogs and handlers must be fit enough to walk one mile. 

Beginning tracking class emphasizes building a partnership bond with your dog while having a great time outdoors in nature doing something dogs are naturally gifted at and love to do. The class develops the foundation concepts & techniques for the AKC Tracking Dog Test including understanding scent, designing tracks to develop tracking dogs with motivation, confidence, & skills, and developing handler support skills. The class may be repeated to build capabilities for beginners.
