Tracking Classes
Tracking is a canine sport and profession where a dog uses its powerful sense of smell to follow a specific scent trail (usually human, often called a “track”) left on the ground, differentiating it from wind-borne scents, to find objects or people, demonstrating incredible natural ability for recreation, search and rescue, or police work. It’s a low-impact, on-leash activity that mentally stimulates dogs.
