From the book

Tracking

The “royal discipline”: how to lay tracks and build a reliable tracking dog step by step, with a training plan in weekly cycles.

Chapter XIX · pages 202–209

It takes a bucket of sweat to train an excellent tracking dog, and working out a track is like learning a poem: first simple rhymes, then longer verses. The tracking chapter builds the work up in just that way, from laying the first tracks to a training plan in weekly cycles.

This is a preview. The full text, photographs and bloodline charts are in the book.
