TCM
Calendar of Events
Each year, TCM offers the tracking community tests in TD, TDX, and VST and seminars to help the new tracker get up and running. This year we are also offering advanced tracking seminars for those training for their TD, TDX or VST or just looking to learn more about tracking theory and methods. We hope these seminars increase your knowledge and skill level as well as your and your dog’s enjoyment of the sport of tracking. There’s always a lot to learn!
