Exercises for Tracking Trial Titles

The following are the tracks you and your dog are required to complete in Tracking Trials.  With the introduction of the Tracking Champion title (T. Ch.) from 1 January 2000, the requirement for a dog to have an obedience pass in order to enter Tracking trials has been deleted.  The T. Ch. is used before the dog's name, and T.D. and T.D.X. are used after a dog's name.  As higher qualifications are obtained, the lower one is no longer used.

A dog must be at least six months of age and have passed the Preliminary Tracking qualification test to be eligible to enter a Tracking trial.
