introduction
to Tracking
6-Week Introduction course
taking you from absolute beginner
to a team with all the skills
to navigate advanced tracks.
What if your dog just isn’t being challenged in the right way…
and what if you need that challenge too?
Imagine tapping into what your dog was actually built to do,
learning something new, pushing yourselves, and doing it together.
Don’t worry… it’s soooo much fun. And a little bit geeky too 🐾
Tracking is one of the most natural and enriching things your dog can do.
In just 6 weeks, you’ll learn how to turn that natural instinct into a structured, rewarding skill.
This is your chance to try something completely new together, challenge both your dog and yourself, build a stronger bond, and actually enjoy your training.
What is Tracking?
Tracking is when your dog follows a specific scent trail, using their nose to find a person or an article (object).
It taps directly into what your dog is naturally built to do.
No chaos. No guesswork. Just focused, purposeful work that builds confidence, burns mental energy, and gives your dog a real job.
And the best part? Any dog can learn it!
What You’ll Learn
You’ll go from complete beginner to confidently setting up and running your own tracks, with the knowledge to progress, assess, and develop your skills properly.
Over the 6 weeks, you’ll learn how to:
Start your dog tracking from scratch (no experience needed)
Teach clear, consistent indications on articles
Build focus, motivation, and drive
Lay and run effective training tracks
Read your dog and understand what they’re telling you
Progress towards longer, more complex tracks
Set up and navigate more advanced tracking challenges
By the end, you won’t just be following instructions, you’ll confidently understand what you’re doing.
Who It’s For
This course is for enthusiastic dog owners looking for something new to do.
A fun, challenging hobby that you and your dog can enjoy together, while building real skills along the way 🐾
Whether you’ve never tried tracking before or you’ve dabbled in scent work or mantrailing, this course starts with the basics and guides you step by step.
By the end, you’ll have a dog who loves the challenge and a new shared hobby that’s genuinely rewarding for both of you.
It’s ideal for:
Pet dog owners who want to do more with their dogs
Those looking to level up their dog’s mantrailing skills
Dogs of any age, breed, or experience level
Again… no experience needed.
Honestly, I’ve yet to find a dog that doesn’t take to tracking.
(It doesn’t mean every dog will be obsessed… but I’ve yet to find one!)
Where?

Each class is 1 hour, with simple, practical homework to keep progress moving between sessions.
More Than Just a Course
You’ll be part of a supportive WhatsApp group where you can ask questions, share progress, and stay motivated.
But you’ll also gain something even more valuable, the ability to train independently, there are follow on sessions though… Tracking Club!
And here’s the big one…
You’re not just getting 6 weeks of training.
You’re getting lifetime access to the full online tracking course (worth £100).
PLUS a tracking starter kit worth £15 to get you going straight away.
So even after the 6 weeks are finished, you’ve still got everything you need to keep progressing.
Support Every Step of the Way
There’s no “falling behind” here.
Every dog learns at their own pace, and I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.
I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs and owners, teaching them how to use scent to find people, articles, and dummies (gundog!)
Scent training isn’t just something I teach, it’s my speciality, and something I genuinely love.
Reactive or Unsure Dogs?
Reactive dogs are welcome, but your dog’s wellbeing always comes first.
Because this is a group setting, we don’t want to overwhelm you or your dog.
If you’re unsure, I offer 1-2-1 training to get you started.
Just drop me a message and we can chat about what’s best for you.
There are only 4 spaces available on this course.
And honestly… these usually fill before I even get a chance to advertise them.
