This is a brief description of how Track/Trail dogs work...

Key Benefits

Capabilities

Track/Trail dogs follow a specific scent utilizing the approximate trail of their subject. A "PLS" or Point Last Seen is needed, and conditions may dictate how long a trail is viable, based on surfaces of the trail and weather conditions.

These dogs generally work in a harness on a long line. Handlers of these dogs need to be in excellent shape to be able to keep up with a dog on a hot trail, as the handler goes where the dog goes.
