    How to locate a tracking class/agility question

     I would really like to do a tracking class with Bugsy and am struggling to find any (other than the company we did the distraction proofing with and I wasn't impressed) are their organizations I should be looking at?

    Also as a mutt what agility can he do?

    I can't help with the tracking part of your question, sorry.

    As for agility, mixed breeds are welome in nearly all agility venues. AKC won't allow them and I'm not sure abnout the Canadian equivalent to AKC. You'll find, though, that USDAA, CPE, NADAC, ASCA, DOCNA, UKC all accept dogs of all flavors!

     There are a couple of yahoo groups regarding tracking with your dog.  I have been to seminars, as there are no formal classes in my area. These seminars are usually very well put together, and are a lot of fun. 

     I have found the seminars through the Yahoo groups, and many times, you can hook up with other participants and track together without the confines of a formal class.

    I can't help on the tracking thing, but to find an agility club near you, you can look at Clean Run's site or USDAA's site.

    What tracking style are you looking for?  It would probably be easier for you to read up on whichever style you're wanting to train, and try it out yourself.  I don't know any clubs around here that just do tracking, besides my schutzhund club (and they obviously work on obedience and protection as well, and it is also a different type of tracking than some people like).

    Here are the names of the Yahoo groups: Tracking_dog  and tristatetrackers.

     

    Just go to Yahoo groups and do a search on those names.  Tracking_dog has more information.  

    Good luck!  I know my little beagle loves tracking!
