Tracking
Dogs have a highly sensitive nose, vastly superior to our own. A dog relies on its sense of smell to interpret the world. When you train a dog to track you are training it to work with its strongest sense, its sense of smell. Tracking is something that dogs love to do.
Teaching your dog to track a human scent and find dropped articles along the way can be great fun, both for you and your dog. It is a good outlet for a dog’s hunting instinct and a great way to use their energy that otherwise may cause behavioural issues.
Your dog is truly amazing when it comes to scenting abilities, but you are the one in control to allow him to use and explore it. Nose work presents fun and interesting challenges which will make your dog more physically and mentally fit as well as strengthen the relationship between you and your dog.
Dogs find tracking mentally challenging and tiring as it demands a lot of focus and dogs have to make their own decisions on which track to follow. Even the liveliest dogs settle down and sleep after a tracking session, giving the owner some peace and quiet.
Tracking Group Induction Classes
In this class you will learn how to motivate your dog to follow a scent trail and find hidden items through the use of positive reinforcement. This is great mental stimulation for all dogs and teaches calmness and concentration in contrast to a lot of other training activities we do with our dogs.
I will work with you and your dog to improve communication and help you to bring the best possible out of your dog
The training sessions take place in my outdoor training facility in Ascot, Berkshire.
