Tracking Dog: Theory & Methods,
By "orionkathy" (West Point, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tracking Dog: Theory & Methods (Paperback)
I had never tracked a dog before. I followed this book step by step and in about 3 months I sucessfully completed my first tracking test and had put a T.D. on my dog. A lot of work is involved but worth every minute when your dog has that title!

The best book I've found for AKC tracking.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tracking Dog: Theory & Methods (Paperback)
This book sets down a well thought out, step by step system for teaching any dog tracking. Mr. Johnson lets you know up front that teaching a dog anything is time consuming but well worth taking the time. I have used this book and know that if you follow it it works!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very methodical, complete information,
This review is from: Tracking Dog: Theory & Methods (Paperback)
This book is for the tracking enthusiast only! If you are looking for an interesting dog book, look somewhere else. But if you are looking for serious tracking info, this is your book. Few pictures (all black and white), excellent info! This book is for the person serious about tracking, believe me if you are not serious about this sport do not buy this book you will not like it. Tracking persons will appreciate the technically explained by the author which will help them understand better their dogs and dog's behavior. Excellent for trackers, not recomended for anyone else.
