We will cover rules and regulations for TD/TDU levels and work in the field to get your dog started tracking. All dogs have the ability to track, regardless of age or breed. If your dog is always sniffing and you are always telling him/her to “quit sniffing” give tracking a try! Your dog will be so happy you did. Equipment needed: Flat buckle collar, non restrictive harness, longer leash (10-12’), water, treats and articles. (First week of class will be without dogs to explain scent, rules and needed equipment.) Note: Handlers must be willing to be outdoors and be prepared for varying temperatures, and bugs. Long pants and closed shoes will be required to be worn. Handlers must be able to walk long distances on uneven ground and in varying levels of "cover" in a safe manner. ***After the first class, we will travel to different locations each week as we progress through the session.*** Prerequisite: At least 6 months old and work friendly towards other people and dogs when on and off leash. Must have taken Intro to Tracking Workshop.
