Tracking is a natural instinct that all dogs possess.  When going for a walk, does your dog start sniffing the ground or hold its nose in the air? 

If this sounds like your dog, then tracking could be for you!

A dog tracks by putting it's nose to the ground and following a trail of human scent.

​

There are 5 training phases that I will teach you, based on the method used to teach Police Dogs and their handlers.

 

Phase 1 will be covered in my Introduction To Tracking Workshop.

​

By phase 5, the 'team' will be able to track a specific person's scent on both hard and soft surfaces to then conclude by finding the person. An additional distraction scent will be put down at the same time.  'Articles' will be dropped along this track which the dog will 'indicate' to it's handler.

 

Levels 2 - 5 will be taught once you have attended my Introduction To Tracking Workshop.  These will be taught during PAYG monthly training sessions - on a Sunday (during winter months) .

 

​
