Tracking
Tracking is a new sport that we've just recently started training in.  I went to a
Schutzhund tracking seminar and their methods for training seemed so
simple and logical that I though we should try it.  

I worked with Kira for a while and we got to a stage of our training where Kira
could generally do a track of about 50 to 60 yards with one or two turns that
had been aged anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes.  She told me that she was
having fun by pulling me to the start flag on her two hind legs.  She can't wait
for me to get the harness on her to get started.  We have taken a break in
her training in 2008 to concentrate on her obedience titles as the two sports
were encouraging two very different sets of skills.

On December 14th, 2008 I start a tracking class with Saluki Zuli and I'm very
interested in seeing how she can do with this sport.  I picked her to try with
this as she can't be trusted with non-Salukis and therefore can't participate
in agility or obedience.  So, maybe this is a good sport for her.

I don't know how far we may take this, but for now, I expect to have great fun.
This is the first book on
tracking that I ever had in my
hands.  I borrowed it from a
friend and it was so jam
packed with information that
I had to have a copy of my
own.  I found it available
from the Tracking Club of
Wisconsin (TCoW)
