Tracking: The Sport for Nosey Dogs!
With us on the show is Jacque Tinker, a friend of mine who raises Australian Shepherds and competes in the dog sports of herding and tracking. She lives in Texas with her husband and 6 Aussies, 23 chickens and 10 sheep!
Jacque and her dogs love going out into nature and running tracks. It is relaxing and great exercise. She started participating in tracking tests about 3 years ago and loves the camaraderie of the sport. She’s going to enlighten us on why this is such a great activity for you and your dog.
We’ll also share some of the latest research about a dog’s sense of smell.
Here are some questions we’ll cover:
What is tracking?
Can any dog enter?
Do all dogs pass the test?
How do you teach a dog to track and at what age?
What articles/equipment do you need?

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
