Scent Tracking
WHAT IS TRACKING?
Dogs have a famously great sense of smell, but what makes their noses so much more powerful than ours? They’re packing some sophisticated equipment inside that squishy schnozz.
Tracking is a technique in which dogs are trained to locate things while in use by humans by using the object’s scent, for a variety of purposes.
Tracking has always been an essential skill for dogs to survive in the wild, through hunting and tracking down potential prey.
Dogs can track on all kinds of surfaces from thick vegetation to hard surfaces such as concrete.
Dogs are initially taught to follow human odor across the grass and progress into different environments. Hunting or trailing dogs are no different. We take the odor you want your dog to follow and reward it for following its path. A good tracking dog will learn to follow an odor on the ground or in the air. With practice you will get your dog to use both.
