If you are unsure what this is about, and curious you are welcome to come down to Churchill Park on Sunday  27/6/2010 to see a demonstration.  This does not form part of the training, but is intended to see if tracking may be something you are interested in trying.

For those who want to go on and trial there will be a tracking trial 11th & 12th September, and this training course should prepare you to be able to enter this if you wish (there are additional Canine Association membership requirements).

But you don't have to trial... Tracking is such a fun thing to do with your dog
