Tracking TD Test
Tracking is a sport in which a dog follows a human scent for several hundred yards to find a scented article left at the end of the track by the human. It’s a great outdoor activity for both people and dogs that takes advantage of a dog’s natural scenting ability.
TCOTC is hosting an AKC Tracking Dog (TD) test on October 27, 2024. A dog earns a TD by following a track 440 to 500 yards long with several turns. The track is “aged” 30 minutes to two hours before the dog begins scenting. The handler follows the dog on a long leash and can encourage the dog during the test.
