Flat-Coated Retrievers and Tracking

 What is a TRACKING TEST?Caris TDX 027 - Flat-Coated Retrievers and Tracking   

 This sport demonstrates the dog’s ability to recognize and follow human scent.  Tracking is a vigorous, noncompetitive outdoor sport.  Unlike obedience and rally trials,  where dogs respond to the handler’s commands, in tracking the dog is completely in charge, for only he knows how to use his nose to find and follow the track. For many,  the greatest pleasure of tracking is the hours spent outside training and interacting with their dogs. The tracking community is known for its camaraderie and they all  share in the excitement of a “pass” and the disappointment of a “fail.”  Any breed is capable of learning to track.  To find out more go to the Flat-Coated Retriever Resource Page.
