Congratulations on your brilliant 'bible' on tracking.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in tracking of course, but also to anyone with an interest in dog behaviour and how dogs learn. The science behind the writing is spot on and the methods can and should be used in all areas of dog training.

The system you describe seems completely logical to me, and if implemented correctly, would be the best way to maximise the dog's understanding of the task.

I highly recommend his book to Schutzhund/IPO hobbyists and sport competitors and any tracking enthusiasts who are looking for refreshing ideas to expand their own tracking systems.

I have picked up new ideas and I will include these ideas into my training. The book is for every tracking handler and a very good manual for tracking training.

Highly recommended for anyone who want to learn not only the correct method of tracking but why we are using these methods.

In simple word, to get 100 points in tracking just follow kris's tracking book.

I recently read ‘HOW TO ACHIEVE PRECISION TRACKING WITH YOUR DOG’ by Kris Kotsopolous and found it to be both thought provoking and motivating.

Many live matings using Norse produced outstanding dogs, therefore we decided his semen would remain on ice until a truly exemplary (purpose bred) bitch was produced that would most compliment such a prestigious sire.

Struck by inspiration, Kris realised that it was not the dog that had the problem but the conventional training philosophy he had been employing. Three weeks later he entered the competition and received 100 points for tracking, a perfect score.
