The sport demands precision, but too many people train with a pass/fail mindset. The goal becomes a frantic checklist of corrections, not a true understanding of the work. This is where handlers get trapped.
They obsess over the process of removing food, treating the symptom instead of building the skill. They get lost perfecting small, cosmetic details that aren't even in the rule book, all in the pursuit of a slow, controlled-appearing track.
But control is not the same as confidence.
This approach creates a hesitant, mechanical dog. It doesn't build a partner that attacks the track with the power and drive of Mike Tyson — it creates a performance that looks safe but lacks the pinpoint accuracy and undeniable intensity that truly wins.
Every chapter built on decades of World Championship coaching, distilled into a system any dedicated handler can follow.
While other resources treat tracking as one chapter among many, this book goes deep. From foundation philosophy to competition-day preparation, every page is focused on building a dog that tracks with precision, intensity, and confidence. This is Logical Dog Training — observe, question, experiment.
Why most tracking programs fail before they start — and the mindset shift that changes everything.
How to develop a dog that attacks the track with power instead of tiptoeing through it with hesitation.
Clear, reliable article indications built through understanding — not mechanical repetition.
A structured approach to corner training from 90-degree turns to acute angles under trial pressure.
Weather, surface, age, and terrain — how to systematically proof your dog against every variable.
The mental and physical prep that separates handlers who trial from handlers who win.
Early readers and founding members share their experience.
All you lost souls of the tracking field, this is your bible to the salvation.
When I first contacted Lars for track help, I thought I would be completely out of my depth. Five years later, Lars isn't just a mentor but also a fantastic friend. When I told him the things I wanted to achieve many people would have laughed. Lars answered by saying get training and come back tomorrow. Yes I achieved a V rating without a leash. The friendship is there for life. Thank you Lars. Thank you for creating this amazing book.
Training with Lars has totally changed the way I think about tracking with my dogs.
