I'm in the same shoes as you...no tracking club near me...too hard for me to do a days drive and be away from the boarding dogs for a day also.
I've been having fun on my own...and using my tracking book. I am hoping to make it to a tracking seminar next month that is only an hour away.
You give your dog the command to track...and they learn to keep following the track...so I don't think you will have any problems to keep her nose off the ground.
I would also suggest you go to yahoogroups and join the CKC- Tracking forum.
If you post there you may be able to find some experienced members in your area that will help you along and give you some pointers.
