AKC Tracking
Classes
OTC offers tracking classes each spring (starting in April) and running through late summer. They are held at Michigan State University. The goal of the classes is to get the beginning dog/handler teams ready to certify and pass an AKC TD or TDU test and to improve skills in more advanced teams. In addition to working the dogs, information will include equipment, map making, AKC tracking rules and regulations, line handling, and more.
