What Will I Learn?
You'll build a deep understanding of how scent works and how environmental factors like heat, rain, wind, and substrate affect every track you run. You'll learn to introduce a dog to tracking, progress through straight lines and multi-turn patterns, and work through contamination and cross-tracks with confidence. The course covers urban and hard-surface environments, night tracking, and adverse weather conditions. You'll also study operational protocols, including scent article handling, start-point selection, real-time decision-making, and legally defensible documentation. Canine health, advanced olfaction science, search and rescue integration, and team leadership round out your training.
