 | |  | | We just started tracking class with our 9 year old vizsla, Tucker. We've had two classes so far. OUr instructor says any dog can learn to track, even a puppy. She recommends the book, "The Audible Nose" which she says is written for newfies, but she thinks it's one of the best tracking books available. She also recommends some tapes called "Tracking" by Joanne Plumb Fleming. I haven't bought any of the books/tapes, but if you don't have access to a trainer, it's something you could look into.
Once your dog understands the concept of tracking, it is my understanding that it's not really too difficult to transfer that learning to search for whatever scent you present your dog. Initially she teaches dogs to track for their owner's scent.. |  |  | |  |
