Canine Tracking Guide details the two most common uses of the canine nose: following blood trails for wounded game and tracking humans (from lost children and missing hikers, to escaped convicts). The author explains the concept of human scent and how the amazing canine nose functions and then elaborates on the basic training principles, commands, exercises and patterns used in tracking work. Whether a reader is working with hunting dogs, police dogs, cadaver dogs or competition dog, this guide offers the correct information needed for every tracking pursuit.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Kennel Club Books' Country Dog series begins with four titles covering a wide range of interest to urban dog owners, from hunting upland game and small fur with land/water retrievers and spaniels, to working with herding dogs in a hobby farm scenario, to tracking fallen game (as well as missing persons) with an able-nosed canine. The topics covered are as broad and far-ranging as the experience of the first four authors in the series.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canine Tracking Guide: Training the All-Purpose Tracker (Country Dog) (Hardcover)
I was interested in finding information regarding the training of my young female bloodhound and the techniques involved in doing it correctly. So far, so good. Easy reading, good explanations of techniques. Lots of repetitious work-well worth it.
