 a great idea but... October 28, 2008
B.Wakefield
I read this book and found it very interesting in theory, but having because neither of my dogs (basenji's) are big on retrieving very few of the games in the book worked because the games build on the idea of retrieving. I donated the book to the library
Good Book, but not for beginner trackers July 4, 2008

This book, by Roy Hunter, is a great resource by for all those interested in tracking--though it isn't necessarily a great book or primer for the beginner tracker, as it assumes skills the beginner (and her dog) might not have.
Other than that, Mr. Hunter's book offers interesting exercises for the advanced tracker and for those trackers seeking to expand their tracking dog's skills.
Overall, an interesting, informative book. I would have liked it better if Mr. Hunter had offered more explanations with some of the lessons, but I did like his behavioristic, canine psychology oriented perspective.

This has fun ideas and training tips for your dog. You don't need to be training for search and rescue work to enjoy this book. You and your dog can just have fun.

A friend of mine recommended this book to start my pup out on trailing and scent discrimination. Roy Hunter does a fantastic job explaining the process to the novice handler, as well as providing many ideas on how to keep it FUN and entertaining for the dog so that it is motivated to learn how to use it's nose.
He covers basic foundation work, enjoyable learning games that can be played with your dog, and includes a few fun stories from his time as a police officer in Britain.
I would (and do) strongly recommend this book for anyone wanting to start their dog on tracking, trailing or scent discrimination!
Great for beginners November 18, 2007

This is a great book for beginners. I have a boxer/great dane mix who isn't "the brightest". He likes to use his nose and he is taking to these exercises very well. He has a lot of energy and finding something to really wear him out has been a challenge. This is much better than just plain exercise because he's mentally challenged as well as physically. He's still picking it up and I'm teaching him as I read. But this is a great idea for people trying to connect to their dog. My dog is a year and a few months and he's still picking it up really quickly. Great Book!!
