For obedience you will need a fur saver collar to start leash training. Small reward treats for job well done. Balls to learn to fetch. Also used as rewards. A 4ft. leash made of leather is the best . For tracking you will need a 15ft. and a 33ft. line. There are leather and man made types that can be purchased at hunting dog supplies sites. They hold up very well to the elements, and hard work. Small evidence pieces leather, cloth, and wood. Food pouch like a carpenter cloth bag to carry small pieces of food to be used as track bait. Boots for field work, waterproof, and rain gear. Notebook to draw field notes, and chalk for marking corners and finds. For protection you will need a 6ft. leash that is sewn and riveted or has braided snap and handle. A harness which I like the Bridgeport Leather with a handle on top.
