Tracking is without a doubt an important task for the working dog.
Of all the senses the K-9 nose is what sets him apart from the humans the most.
Of all the tasked you ask your computer to perform, E-mail is still it's most
important function after 35 years of computer upgrades. This is true with tracking.
This is a subject that could and take at the very least a week of discussion. Tracking
is were you are first introduced to scent work.
Who is the best tracking dog you have ever seen, and who are the great
tracking trainer? What is their secrets?
Clip vom roten Falken is was one of mine. I think the DMC as a group
do some of the best tracking practices in world. Clip almost always
scored high in tracking, and protection. This is because he had a high hunt drive.
My dogs have Clip, but also some French lines, with allot of pack drive. I love
the combination of the two.

I agree tracking is very important! I am now two years into SchH and have come to realize that tracking is one of the hardest parts of the whole routine. My female is a natural tracker but has shown me that tracking is a fine art form that ages like a fine wine. Most people love to focus on the other parts of SchH. I now have two pups out of her litter with Dylan Perle de Tourbiere and am really trying to figure out what road I will take to ensure that we are successful in tracking. I have a plan but am open to any suggestions from the more experianced trainers. I have watched many vids and I think that Phil is a superb trainer in the art of tracking. My SchH clubs training director is extremley good at teaching tracking as well and that is part of the reason that he was able to participate in the BSP along side Phil.

SchH tracking is a nice exercise in OB and precision, but is not at all how a dog would trail someone naturally. And you are ignoring the many other real-world scentwork applications that have nothing to do with indicating every footstep, and everything to do with working a scent...

Any experiences with speed demons in tracking? In your opinion what is the best technique to get them to slow down? (pinch collar, going back to food in every foodstep, etc.)
