Recognizing and thanking the amazing people who help us along the way
Join Our Amazing Circle!
Village, Tribe, Community – whatever you like to call it – we got it!
At 4Winds we’re all about the Tribe, the Village, the Circle! In a Circle of Excellence, everyone shares and grows together, travelling a path together and encouraging one another.
I believe it is important to receive some recognition and acknowledgement when you leap in or go above and beyond to help within our tracking circle. Tracking is a wonderful sport, but opportunities to test can be few and far between. In the meantime we work together to sharpen the saw, making sure our dogs remain motivated and skilled, and always trying to improve our own mastery of this activity – no matter your goal.
Small groups are proven to accelerate learning and success! In a safe and supportive environment there is less performance anxiety as people achieve goals and work towards mastery together. Although we work alone a lot in tracking, there is no success without our village. That’s where this program comes in.

Certificates of Recognition, Achievement and Accomplishment
4Winds will present these to deserving members of our tribe! You could be surprised! And your contributions are truly valued more than you may realize. We see you and appreciate you very much.
Honourary Certificates
Occasionally a certificate may be awarded to a dog that has not had the opportunity to complete titles or their own journey, due to illness, passing too soon, or other reasons.
These decisions are compassion – based and subjective. They may be suggested by members of our circle.
This recognition represents the care of our community and does not attempt to represent any official designations through established organizations. They in no way attempt to diminish titles earned by hard-working teams in various organizations.
They do recognize that sometimes stuff happens and a dog or team has run out of time or lost the ability to keep going. We care and we put people first.
