The Obedience Training Club of Palm Beach County has been offering AKC Tracking tests from its earliest history.
Tracking can be done in many environments…
- Tracking Dog (TD) and Tracking Dog Excellent (TDX) in the field
- Variable Surface Tracking (VST) mix of field and urban elements
- Tracking Dog Urban (TDU) urban environment with some transitions
