Guide · Tracking
A good session starts before the first step. When the objective, terrain and design are clear, the handler can concentrate on the dog rather than missing notes.
Decide what the session should answer: one corner type, a material change, longer ageing or calm indication. One clear objective prevents too many new challenges at once.
Mark the scent pad clearly and capture direction changes and articles while laying. A sketch or GPS recording connects later observations with the right section.
Do not record indications and errors alone. Pace, search intensity, wind, ground and line handling all belong in the training picture.
