Beginner suggestions?

My dog Wolf is almost 4 months old. He comes from a great line of trackers and SchH dogs. I was thinking of getting him into tracking but I'm not really sure how or where to start. Any suggestions for books/videos for beginners???
thanks

Schutzhund Village
You can google youtube video's of puppy tracking(scentbox or scentpads)
I have Tracking from the Beginning by Gary Patterson Another book recommended by my Sch trainer is Precision Tracking Dogs not sure if it is available in the US... there is a FB page, for more info

If I were you, I'd get with a club and see if you can get help...it is nice to learn with someone experienced rather than reading books and looking at videos.

Look for an obedience training club in your area and if they aren't into tracking they can at least point you in the right direction.
