About Track Laying: Guidelines for Dog Tracking Enthusiasts

Have you ever been asked by a dog training friend to lay a practice track for his or her dog to follow? Perhaps you are new to tracking itself and want to learn how to lay tracks for your own dog. Or maybe you've been asked to lay track at a certification match or an actual test — even though you might have little prior experience.

There are a number of good books available today on training a dog to track. Most of them devote only a few pages of 'how-to' in the track laying department while all emphasise the importance of having a good experience person as a track layer! How does a person learn this important task?

This is not a book about how to train a dog. This book is expressly for teaching people the fundamentals of track laying and associated skills.

Learn how to plot a track... how to make accurate maps... and how to always know exactly where you went! Great appendix with guidelines for making flags, track layer's aprons, grids to copy, blank Judge's maps to copy, how to figure yardage, map symbols and sample tracks to plot.

100 pages with over 100 illustrations!
