I was wondering if anyone on this forum had any experiance with training there dog to track, hunt or anything along these lines. I've gotten about half a dozen books from the library, but most are at least 15 years old and I can tell the training techniques are older. If anyone knows any good books, websites or anything it would be appriciated. The only sites I can find are ones that want you to ship your dog to them and let them train it. [Confused]

Here in Edmonton, there are "kennels" specializing in "HOUND" dog training. You would go to classes. If you look in the phone book under kennels and/or dog training there might be someone local who can give you a six week starter. PS 15 year old for training a hunting dog is nothing. Man has been using our companions for 100+ years and if the training didn't work - they went hungry.

I would recommend "Scent and the Scenting Dog"
It is the basis we use to train our police k9's at work. At least to start them out.
