tracks. Mark the start and the end for each track, except the end track
where you will put the flag a few yards past your article.
You can lay your own tracks or have a friend do it. It is most fun when
you track with a friend and you can lay tracks for each other. I do this
once or twice a week. Other times I am on my own and lay my own
tracks. I keep a bag with all my tracking gear in the car and that way
we can grab a quick tracking session whenever we come across a
suitable spot.

was 10 when those photos were
taken. March of 2005.
Some people only track on grassy areas….either parks with mown
lawns or open grassy green places. Never ask your dog to track on
freshly mown areas, though. It is sensory overload.
I myself, trained from the start on grass and dirt and then started
introducing surface changes - concrete, asphalt, gravel, etc.
If it is your intent to compete in AKC Tracking to obtain a TD title you
need to read the AKC rules and know what is required.
A dog only needs to pass one TD test to obtain his title.
Dogs need to be “certified” by an AKC Tracking Judge prior to entering
a test. The dog has to do a course similar to a typical TD track and
prove to the judge that he is capable enough to perform a track. TD
