Ludlow Rotary Club Learns about the Sport of Dog Tracking

Ludlow, Vermont

Have you ever wondered what your dog can really do with its nose? The Tracking Club of Vermont (TCV) is introducing more Vermonters to the fascinating sport of AKC tracking - a dog-led activity that challenges dogs and handlers to work together as a team. Marianne Sutherland, President of TCV educated members of the Ludlow Rotary Club at a recent meeting.

In tracking, a dog follows the scent of a person along an unknown route, navigating turns and natural obstacles such as woods, fields, water, brush and stone walls. Handlers learn to read their dogs and, perhaps most importantly, to trust them. Dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages can participate.

The Tracking Club of Vermont is licensed by the American Kennel Club to conduct sanctioned tracking tests, where successful dog-and-handler teams can earn AKC tracking titles. The club offers tests at various skill levels throughout the year.

TCV is a volunteer-run organization supported by its members, instructors, judges, tracklayers and volunteers. Those interested in learning more about the sport, attending an upcoming event, or becoming involved with the club are encouraged to visit the Tracking Club of Vermont website.

Learn more at www.trackingclubofvermont.org.

The Ludlow Rotary Club meets most Tuesdays for lunch in Ludlow. The LRC is always welcoming new members. If you would like to attend a meeting and learn how you may make a difference while enjoying the fun and fellowship of others, please contact any Rotarian.
