Find out about this exciting alternative, and how it can boost your tracking game!
If you haven’t noticed yet, we love Trailing! It is growing as a ‘sport’ competition around the world. Why? It’s fun, it draws on the natural tracking instincts of your dog, allowing them to work the way Nature designed. It’s based on tactical work for military, police and SAR, yet emphasizes precision along with understanding the scent environment.
I’ve been working on Trailing with my own dogs for three years now, and with students for the past two years. We are convinced this is a much-needed alternative to CKC tracking, giving people more to do, more to learn and more fun! That’s why we are excited to expand it beyond our training circles and welcome others to discover the fun and community spirit Trailing offers. Join in the fun and learning.
We are bringing testing and evaluations to Alberta in 2025! Time to Get Trailing!
PS – Next session will be in early spring. If you are looking for CKC tracking lessons, these will be offered early spring as private lessons, 1:1. Stay tuned! Watch for our most popular webinar on Winter Tracking being offered again in December.
