Download or read book Tracking dogs written by Roland Berger and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The contents of the book are: - The tracking work - The tracking training - Difficulties in nature - Mantrailing and ID tracking - The trail - The examination to the recognized tracking dog - Learning tips - Conclusion Can your dog do it? Most definitely... there are very few exceptions where this sport should be avoided. These will be explained to you in this guide. In addition, you will learn how to train your tracking dog to be a tracking dog and what you need to do it. You will get all the background information you need to take your fdog on the trail. Enjoy reading, learning and training.

Download or read book HUNT EM UP written by C.V. Conner and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we’re trying to do with this book is help the hunter to have another option, that option is to call in someone nearby with a trained blood tracking dog, YOU. These dogs can find deer that human hunters might walk right by. They are able to scent trail deer, even when there is no blood at all to follow. A trained tracking dog can lead its handler to a deer even several days after it was shot. And that is what this book is all about, getting you started on training a dog that can cut your deer tracking time in half and increase your recovery rate by 80 or 90 percent. Basically, training almost any dog to blood trail is simple. It’s so simple in fact that I can sum it up in just a few paragraphs. You don’t have to own a hound to train your own tracking dog. Any breed with the nose to follow a trail can be trained. I have seen everything from labs to Jack Russell terriers to dachshunds trained to trail deer. I personally have a black lab named “Tilly”, and a heeler/shepherd mix named “Diamond Cut”. In short, you would start out your training by making a game of it. You could use a strip of bacon or a piece of calf liver tied to a string as your first scent marker. To make sure the dog is following the calf liver or bacon scent and not yours tie the string to the end of a long pole to drag it well away from your own scent trail. As your dog become more adept at following the trail, you should start to make it more difficult by hopping the calf liver or bacon strip along the ground and lifting it for several feet between touches. Getting your dog fully trained to blood trail takes a lot of time and patience. But knowing how to get the dog motivated to track and stay with the right line from the beginning really pays off when working with hunters to recover their harvest. The best teacher is time spent with the dog and a lot of it! Time spent in the field tracking through the season and training the rest of the year. This is what it takes to form a bond. And that bond is strengthen and reinforced in life's journey with your blood trail dog! If I gave you no more information than what’s above you would have enough to get your dog started with blood trailing. But in reality, there is a lot more to be learned about tracking with a dog. So let’s get started now to build a complete training course for your new blood trailing student.

Book excerpt: The "straightest path" is a simple and honest approach to good trailing dog training. Schettler outlines his method for working trailing dogs, step by step with one goal in mind: finding people. The simple truth of the matter is that trailing and tracking dogs do not find what they are looking for on most cases throughout this country. The problems boil down to training-- for the dog, the handler, and search managers. This program is designed for anyone handling a trailing dog, and Jeff has been teaching it now for over a decade. Whether you are training for search & rescue, are a K-9 cop, or a tactical team manager, Schettler's advice could save your life, the life of your dog, or that of another person one day.
