UNITED BLOOD TRACKERS, INC.
THE TRACKING TESTS
As we train and work with our dogs, we are constantly evaluating our own performances. Because handlers usually work alone with their dogs, it can be difficult for a handler to know how a dog is progressing in its training or what its level of expertise is. The difficulty of a track can vary depending on a number of factors, including the age of the track, distance or length of the track, and amount of blood used over the course of the track. These tracking tests – UBT I, UBT II, UBT OL, and UBT III – provide a standardized guide for assessing proficiency.
