Tracking Methods


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Am reading a couple of books at once about tracking & search & rescue and a few of them differ and are dead against each others method.

Can someone enlighten me on what through their experience they found better ground tracking or air scenting? And do they have air senting clubs in Sydney or just ground tracking clubs?

All ANKC tracking competition is ground scenting and you will be penalised for airscenting.

Tracking and rescue in the real world you want your dog to find the person as quickly as possible so the use of either method would be acceptable from my understanding.

I find a mixture of both works best...

Would anyone recommend any good books tracking training for beginners?

Thanks
