Yes, Sara, we all know. But tracking is not the the same as trailing.

Please have a look here:

Please click on the link of the first post and then "Zum Video" top right.

It´s German but I think you´ll understand the "movie".

The CsW Altai (Falin Zlatá Palz) was able to find the reporter (who drove away by car for 3 kilometer) only by sniffing her neckerchief before.

Hard work ... but really good work for Czechoslowakian wolfdogs

Cheers,
Angelika

Angelika, great video!!

Thank you for sharing. That looks like a fun activity to do with a CSV!

PS - Is that the same Ina on these forums?

Yes, but also very exhausting for the dog to "catch" the right smell-particle.

Tired is ok! As they say, "A tired dog is a good dog"!

I have not done "trailing" (air scenting, used for Search and Rescue and how AKC does their Tracking) with her, as I am doing Tracking, and if you teach a dog to air-scent first it is nearly impossible to get them to ground-scent without "casting" their nose in the air (a fault that loses you points in Tracking).
Once a dog has learned ground-scenting it is easy to teach air-scenting, so we are building our foundation with ground-scenting before I start air-scenting.
My plan is to earn SchH titles with her, so I am focused on that for right now.
As an aside, I taught my Malinois to ground-scent for SchH Tracking and a few months ago my friend's dog ran away - I was able to get him to air-scent and find the missing dog!
