New Class

On Saturday, Moms took me to a tracking class.
That's where dogs sniff away and find stuff.
Germain Sheppards like to find people and tackle them.
I prefer to find a bag full of food.
It was great; finally i can put my nose to use!!!
Now we need to practice...


What is tracking?

A Tracking trial is an event to encourage dogs to make use of their strongest facility, the ability to follow a scent trail. The competition emulates the finding of a lost person or article in a situation where the performance of the dog can be fairly assessed. Because of this, the tracks laid are straight-forward, not the wanderings that may characterize a lost person, nor do they include deliberate attempts by the tracklayer to deceive the dog.
