Eventually you can change this to "Get my keys" and he will bring them to you where ever they are. |
No offense here, but finding something in the house is not tracking. The dog is not following a track this way...just my opinion. To the OP, I would do some research and find what kind of tracking you want to do...AKC, Schutzhund...then I would to locate a club or person in your area that has experience in tracking to show you the basics.
