The system process of having a dog wear a bell will greatly increase your success while tracking. We suggest dog breaking your sheep/goat with a bell on your dog then using the bell while tracking. A small 2-inch cow bell works well on a quick release collar. The only time our dogs wear the collar is when they are working sheep.
We attach the collar with the bell at the track, placing it one the dog once they get to the track.
Why the bell makes such a big impact. Since animals cannot see behind them when they are running, the bell alerts the animals that the predator is close by hearing the ringing of the bell.
