A place you might try tracking some is around your local high school. Usually there isn't any foot traffic at crack-o-dawn-thirty and the grass is short and green.
I am in the final stages of getting a GSD prepared for Sch I trials. My aspect is the Bite Work and coaching the obed in conjunction with the owner handler.
What this handler is now doing and getting outstanding results in tracking is that the dog is not fed at home any longer.
It takes a bit of time but the dog is layed a track now every day and at the end of the track is dinner.
I thought that it was a bit much but the results are very good.

While I sure can't profess to have TRIED it, I base my opinion on this: I did agility for two years, teaching weekly one hour group classes at a local club. Agility has TONS of skills to master, including some extremely unnatural behaviors like the weave poles. Yet many club members were successful in getting their dogs up to competition level strictly by attending that one hour lesson per week and no practice in between. If they can teach a dog all the myriad skills needed for agility in one session per week, surely you could teach a dog the "natural" behavior of tracking in one session per week. I'm not saying he's gonna go to the FH championships, but pass a test, yes.
