Encouraging the Canine Instinct

Dog tracking training encourages the canine instinct to detect, recognise and follow a specific scent, whether of a person or something else.​

Our stimulating training allows dogs to get their brains and noses working by offering praise as they follow an odour and find the item or person we’re looking for. But this isn’t the only purpose of the training; it’s also a great way to work on obedience and any issues you’ve been having with your pet. Our trainers are there each step of the way to help make real progress with dogs of every age, breed and skill level.

The Wonderful World Of TRacking

The purpose of tracking is to improve your dog’s life through nose work. Applying our knowledge as highly trained dog trainers and scent instructors, we have developed a program that will enable owners to give their dogs a positive scent experience, not only teaching them to work and play with scent but using scent to rectify problems in dogs when it comes to behaviour.
