Atlanta, GA _ Tracking Club/Training classes?
I was just wondering how to get started in Tracking or getting a dog evaluated to see how they do? I live in Stone Mountain just outside of Atlanta. My GSD Lexi is 2 1/2 years old, I have taken her through a basic training class. She never really showed much interest and (for a GSD) doesn't pick up on things very quickly. Lexi is a bit of a ditz.
 Sweet but not so bright. lol As a bit of history, I adopted Lexi off CL almost 2 years ago, her breeder trains dogs for law enforcement. Lexi is German working lines: her mom is a narcotics dog & dad is titled in ScH. Lexi however did not show enough drive and is also very small, she is less than 50lbs (which is why he was getting rid of her, she did not even have a name at 10 months old!). Lexi is however VERY food motivated! My old Agility Instructor got to watch her today in the building and admired how she used her nose all over the place and was able to locate treats no one knew about that were about 4 1/2 feet above the floor on top of a fan. She also gave a clear indication that she found something. My Instructor thought maybe Lexi would enjoy Tracking. Pointers & suggestions welcome!  Kristina |

I don't know any tracking folks out that way, but you could try contacting Central Georgia Search Dogs over towards that neck of the woods and see if someone could point you in the right direction? You don't HAVE to do SAR just to do tracking  Be careful in your area. There are a lot of "trainers" that profess grand things but have records with the Dept. of Ag.
