Tracking Class Level 1
5 week course, max 4-5 dogs,
1 Hour
(for pups 16 weeks up to adult dogs)

Private assessment at KURI centre needed beforehand to determine your dog's suitability: 15min

Want to increase your own and your dog’s fitness?
Want to prevent your dog from getting bored and give them mental stimulation?
Want to teach your dog how to find missing persons or objects?
Want to get a better understanding of your dog?
Want to increase the bond between you and your dog?
 
Then this is the class for you!
In order to teach you the principles of tracking we will first explain during a lecture how dogs’ instincts work and what they are capable of. Then during our practical classes your dog will learn the principles of hunting and how to use their nose on command. We will start tracking by using lead and harness and then move on to a tracking cord. Your dog will learn the basics about scent identification and we will teach you how you can make your dog find anything just by using scent. They can differentiate between your wanted object and others in a widespread area.
