The short answer
The dog can search for animal signs, help find active life zones and follow blood from wounded animals. The developer says bonding and use improve its reliability.
Choose the right tracking job
Looking for signs, locating an active life zone and tracking a wounded animal are different jobs. Record which command or cue you used when writing a report. The FAQ does not give an exact skill-growth rate, guaranteed tracking distance or universal training schedule.
