OTCGL Tracking - 2008
Scent Tracking Classes
Term: Scent tracking classes will be starting in the second half of April and run for 10 weeks.
Pre-requisite: None. Dogs of all ages and breeds enjoy tracking. Puppies, especially, are likely to gain focus and confidence, while handlers learn more about their dog.
Cost: $85
Time: Meet at 6:00 pm and run generally until sunset. A daytime class will also be scheduled if some students prefer that.
Day: Monday or Thursday evening (select which night is best for you). Our starting date is not yet finalized.
Location: Classes generally meet outdoors near the intersection of Farm Lane and Forest Road on MSU grounds.
Instructors: A team of people involved in the tracking sport.
