Standard IGP / Schutzhund Tracking Articles - Set of 7

A set of seven scent-discrimination tracking articles for IGP and Schutzhund training, made in a range of materials so your dog learns to find and indicate articles by scent at the end of a track. The varied surfaces build reliable, generalized article indication.

What's in the set

• 2 leather articles
• 2 nylon articles

What they're for
