Tracking and Mantrialing

[oceanaussi]

Quentin is now 5 months old and from day 1 we did retrieving and tracking and he enjoys it very much and becomes better each day. I also would like to do mantrialing with him but have a few questions in regards to that:

Firstly, will I confuse the dog when we do both tracking and mantrialing?
Second, any idea on how I can start on mantrialing??? We were supposed to go to a course next month but it has been cancelled. I would appreciate any ideas!

Does anyone know about some books or similar about mantrialing? I've got great books on tracking but so far was unable to find anything on mantrialing.

Thanks!

Are you wanting your dog to follow a trail of a person rather than an animal? My dog has commenced this but I call that tracking. If this is what you are after I can give you some tips.
