I wrote theses decades ago, when I gave my first seminar. They have withstood the test of time.
THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF TRACKING
Judi Edwards
Thy dog is never wrong
Thy dog must be allowed to investigate
Retrieving—anything—is always good
Thou shall locate the wind
Thou shall always be able to refind the track
Thou shall always carry a spare article
Thee and thy dog shall always play with the article for one full minute
H2O before you go, & carry it too
Thou shall faithfully keep a log
Thou shalt never step in front of thy dog
Love them!!
