Accessories for IGP Tracking & Scent Work

Tracking is a central component of IGP dog sport and one of the most demanding forms of scent work. In this category, you will find high-quality tracking accessories specifically designed for precise and effective training.

What is tracking in dog sport?

In tracking, the dog follows a previously laid trail, orienting itself by the faintest scents in the ground. These scents are created by so-called "ground disturbances," which alter microorganisms and plant structures.

The dog works with its nose close to the ground, searching the track step by step. The goal is to follow the trail precisely and reliably indicate any objects placed along the way.

Tracking in IGP Dog Sport

The IGP track constitutes Phase A of working dog sport and places high demands on concentration, stamina, and precision. Depending on the trial level, the length, age, and difficulty of the track vary, as does the number of articles to be found.

A distinction is made between tracks laid by the handler and those laid by a stranger. While the dog follows the familiar scent of its handler on a handler-laid track, it must focus exclusively on ground disturbances—such as footprints and soil displacement—when following a stranger's track; this presents a significantly higher level of difficulty.

Tracking Promotes Concentration and Mental Engagement

Scent work is one of the most species-appropriate activities for dogs. It promotes mental engagement, strengthens the ability to concentrate, and fosters a calm, focused working style. At the same time, it improves the cooperation between dog and handler.

Tracking accessories for effective training

The right equipment is crucial for successful dog tracking training. High-quality tracking lines, harnesses, and articles help structure tracking work and ensure optimal handling of the dog.
