A Primer For Beginning Trackers

© 2011 Ed Presnall

Working with an experienced trainer is an ideal way to learn, but is not always a viable possibility. The trainer’s availability, your time and theirs, location and costs often place constraints on a beginner’s resources. This, by no means, should stop you and your dog from learning the sport of tracking.

Excellence in Tracking through Component Training

Successful competitive tracking requires the development of a large number of skills on the part of both the dog and the handler. A dog comes equipped with fabulous scenting abilities but must learn to follow a track in many types of weather, over a variety of surfaces, while encountering all sorts of distractions. A handler must learn how to read his dog, know when to stop and let his dog get back on track, and keep his dog motivated. Author Ed Presnall has developed his Component Training™ method to help a tracking team break down the dozens of challenges they will face in training in order to achieve the coveted Tracking Dog Excellent title.
