An incorrect approach to training dogs in tracking can lead to a confused animal and a frustrated handler. The dog's ability to follow a scent is far beyond what humans are capable of, yet unless a handler can make the dog understand which scent he is to follow, failure is bound to ensure. Nothing can be achieved by violence or pressure. Only a good understanding between handler and dog makes it possible to be successful. Methods in this book are based on acquiring a clear understanding of what is involved in tracking, what the dog's scent capabilities reaaly are, and what conditions can effect the dog's tracking ability, and how.
