I was given the suggestion of reading "Tracking from the Beginning, by Gary Patterson"... I found it to be very useful and interesting read.

Gary Patterson's book is excellent. Though I have used a few other references over the years I still find his book the best for SchH tracking.

Something else I highly recommend is watching good dogs track. This will give you a goal, a picture, to train for.
