Tracking Workshops

Skills and Topic Focused

Weekend Workshops are usually organized for existing students in place of regular classes. We focus on specific skills over a weekend, with lots of theory, practice and fun! Workshops are advertised to provide opportunities for others to join in!

Some people choose 1:1 Coaching as an alternative, or a follow-up to enhance lessons and discuss topics such as mental preparation and nerves, goal setting and accountability, feedback on individual performance or other topics (you decide what matters to you!)

Types of Workshops Offered (check back, more are always added!)

• Training in the Urban Environment – scent theory, plotting, scent movement, puzzles
• Follow the Flow – Plotting Skills
• All About Articles – Plotting, Indications, Motivation, Area Search
• Start Your Puppy in Tracking
• Stinky Feet – behind the scenes of a tracking test – take part in a mock test! Review the paperwork, organization, plotting and judging. Includes “You Be the Judge” as participants follow volunteer teams who run the tracks we set!
