The Sporthund tracking flag is a blue marker flag on a 51 cm metal rod, used to mark the start of a track and key points in dog tracking training. It is for handlers who lay their own tracks for IGP, IFH or trailing. K9 Store is the exclusive UK distributor of Sporthund.
A clear marker at the start lets you set your dog up in the right place every time, and extra flags help you remember exactly where you turned or laid articles so you can read your dog's work.
Features
- Metal rod, 51 cm long and 4 mm in diameter
- Robust tarpaulin flag

- Colour: blue
Use it for IGP / Schutzhund tracking, IFH and trailing practice. Many handlers carry several tracking flags to mark corners and article positions on training tracks.
How trainers use it
A common approach is to mark the start, then place a flag a little to the side of each corner or article. The handler can then see whether the dog is working the track or guessing. Flags are usually placed a little off the line, so the dog does not use them as a cue. They are often phased out as the dog moves towards trial work.
