Phase 8 Two Weeks to Operational Tracking- Building the Tactical Team Around the Tracking K9
Online Class - Phase VIII: Building the Tactical Team Around the Tracking DogOnce the tracking K9 is proficient at its job and the handler understands the subtle nuances of the proximity alert, it is time to teach the dog to tolerate other human team member activity on or about the track as the dog is working. This is far easier said than done as most dogs do not take the distraction in stride. Most dogs take it as competition due to "Pack Dog Syndrome" Jeff will discuss in detail during this course. If you have issues with your tracking dog shutting down or being overstimulated by team members on the track, this is defiantly a class for you. Jeff's methods are tried and true and can effectively create a K9 who ignores all team movement while tracking even when team members clear areas in front of the tracking dog. Participants who cannot attend due to unforeseen circumstances may take a future course at no additional charge. All Tracking courses are for any potential tracking K9. T
