A Primer For Beginning Trackers

© 2005 Ed Presnall & Lois Ballard

Working with an experienced trainer is an ideal way to learn, but is not always a viable possiblity. The trainer’s availability, your time and theirs, location and costs often place constraints on a beginner’s resources. This, by no means, should stop you and your dog from learning the sport of tracking.

ABOUT TRACK LAYING by Betty A. Mueller
7 x 8.5, 100 pages, Illustrated by the author. ISBN 1-888994-18-5

Guidelines for Dog Tracking Enthusiasts. In every book on tracking, the importance of having (or being) a good, experienced track layer is stressed, but none devote more than a few pages to this important topic. How does a person learn to be a great track layer???

This book takes the mystery out of learning the fundamentals and associated skills needed to confidently lay great tracks for yourself or others.

*This is NOT a book on how to train your dog to track!! It is expressly for teaching people the fundamentals of track laying and associated skills.
