This class is for anyone wanting to get started in tracking and for those already tracking but not yet ready for  the advanced class.  We will be tracking at the fields in Auburn and working on starts, turns, motivation, reading your dog, line handling, article indication,  and track laying.   You will need a tracking harness, 6 foot leash, tracking line if you are already tracking, scented articles, soft yummy treats, and small notebook and pencil.   This is a working class and all members will be laying tracks, following along and observing on others tracks, as well as tracking their own dogs.  Bitches in season are welcome in this class, but will be running the last track of the evening.  All dogs will be crated in vehicles while we lay tracks and while others run their tracks.  Questions and sign up with Pam Johnson blackyellowlabs@comcast.net.
