Webster's Tracking Weekend

Webster and I had the opportunity to attend a two day tracking seminar in Courtenay, BC last weekend.

The seminar was presented by Carol Pernicka (from Colorado). Present were many novices as well as experienced handlers with their dogs.

It was an amazing experience to participate in and to watch the experienced dogs! Carol taught new skills as well as established ones. She stressed that, "tracking is tracking, whether it's on hard surfaces or grass."

Webster did a great job, even though he'd never tried tracking before and the seminar enforced the fact that no matter how old your dog is, they can learn to track! I'm confident that Webster will be a great tracker (with that lab nose) and he and I will enjoy this interesting sport.

Here are some pictures of us doing our thing.
