WOUNDED GAME TRACKING AND BLOOD TRAILING IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

Wounded game tracking is where dogs are trained to track injured deer or other game using their natural scenting abilities. In this training, dogs learn to follow blood trails, locate wounded game, and indicate their finds to the handler. This work engages a dog’s instincts while teaching focus, persistence, and controlled tracking skills.

This activity is excellent for mental stimulation, confidence-building, and physical exercise. Dogs that are natural hunters or have strong noses thrive in this type of work. For owners, it’s a rewarding way to channel your dog’s hunting instincts safely and effectively while improving teamwork, handling skills, and outdoor experiences.

While best suited for dogs with natural hunting or scenting drive, training can be adapted for different experience levels to safely develop skills over time.
