Episode Synopsis

In this week's episode, Susan Edwards returns for the conversation with Jason. Susan is a member of United Blood Trackers, an organization dedicated to helping hunters find their lost game with the use of dogs and originally appear on Ep 59: The Benefits of Blood Tracking Dogs. In that episode, they talked about Susan's 2 accomplished beagles that she uses to help hunters in Pennsylvania find deer and bear after they have been shot. They talked about how the dogs work, why this is an important tool for hunters, and the do's and don'ts of tracking game before calling in the dogs.
This week, the focus is on training dogs. Susan gives us the general step by step process she uses to train her dogs to track. Some of the steps make perfect sense, others make sense once she explains her reasoning. If you have ever trained a dog, you'll understand that aspect! If you have thought about training your dog to track deer and bear when there is not a blood trail present, you'll want to listen to this one.
