Tracking with Penny
WHAT IS PENNY's JOB?
Penny is a track/trail dog!
WHAT DoeS that mean?
A track/trail dog follows a specific odor from a missing pet in the air or on the ground starting at the “point of loss.” Penny identifies the direction of travel and the area in which the missing pet has been, and can even determine if the pet was removed from the area.

How cool?!? tell us more!
It is best to track sooner rather than later; however, tracking pets is best after 48 hours, as they may find their way home. We personally don’t go on tracks that are more than two weeks old to make sure we are making the most of your ground time.
There is, of course, no guarantee that we will find your pet on the track, but we will give you a perimeter to work with on locating your pet.
What does penny need in order to track?
In order for us to run a track on your pet, we utilize scent articles. This can be your pet's:
- bed,
- blanket,
- collar,
- harness,
- brush with their, or
- kennel.
If you have a multi-pet household, the articles will still work if the other pets didn't leave the yard.
*owner must be present on all tracks
Check Out a couple of penny's previous tracks!
Penny is the RED line, and the animal/person she was tracking is the BLUE line.
Penny did SO well on this track you can barely see the BLUE line! We're so proud of her!
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
- We don’t tend to come across your pet on a track due to animals constantly moving out of survival and being in flight mode. It is always possible that your pet may have found a place to hunker down, so there is the possibility of coming across their hiding spot.
- If we happen upon your pet during the track, remember to stay calm. Get low, stay calm and quiet. Allow your pet to recognize a familiar scent and for them to approach on their own.
- Since there are lots of moving parts when it comes to finding a pet, we cannot guarantee the outcome of a track.
