Re: dog
I only have the german GM's guide and therefore can only guess that your "simple dog" is our "watchdog".
Since its description says he's used to guard a specific place and not to travel and hunt, I would say it's correct that he doesn't have the tracking skill at all.
So it would be step 6 (=untrained) + 2 (sense of smell)

Re: dog
I think you're referring to the guard dog entry. It makes sense as the average domestic canine isn't necessarily any good at tracking. Step 6 sounded low for realism; they may not be great at it but they're clearly better than an untrained human.
But it's actually step 8 with the bonus from their enhanced senses. This pushes their untrained tracking ability higher than any human can reach without training. So it feels like the numbers here make a lot of sense.
Edit: Blah. I should drink coffee before responding. Just realized I repeated what Belenus said.
