Tracking dogs

by Roland Berger

A dog's nose in action - How your dog becomes a tracking dog. Tracking - or Mantrailing in a slightly different form - is a useful activity for your dog. Actually, you do not have to teach him much here, because your dog can sniff quite certainly ... and he also does day after day with every walk. So why do you need to train your dog in tracking? Well... tracking work is a bit more profound. You yourself or another person lay a track for your dog to follow. But of course not somehow, because there are rules for this. You can even take certain exams to be able to lead your dog as a recognized tracking or rescue dog. For mantrailing, similar rules apply, but here no artificially laid track is followed by your four-legged friend, but the dog is trained so that he can follow the scent of a very specific person and thus, for example, find a missing person.

basic but not bad, cheap editing but you can survive, some info may be irrelevant to you (despite not being properly introduced like this) but at least they're not wrong, so I'd say go on and read it if you have some spare time, just to get a grasp of the topic
