how transferable are tracking skills

[Ooops]

Success at hard surface very much depends on the dog, some tracking “monsters” excel on hard surface and almost train themselves to a whole other level where they can quickly track a “suspect” and discriminate against other scent contamination in challenging environments.

I'm very much enjoying your responses to mine and subsequent posts
If it's not an overly intrusive enquiry would you mind providing a bit of background to your experience?

I’ve been fortunate enough to have spent a number of years getting paid to work with and train a variety of working dogs.
