The key highlights of our programme

Step into the fascinating world of professional tracking, where science meets instinct and every dog's unique abilities shine. During your first week, you'll discover how to unlock your dog's natural tracking potential through proven, adaptable techniques that work for every dog and handler team.
We understand that no two dogs (or handlers!) are alike. That's why we focus on teaching you a versatile toolkit of methods, allowing you to customise your approach for different dogs and situations. Whether you're working with enthusiastic beginners or helping experienced dogs refine their skills, you'll learn to choose the perfect technique for each unique partnership.
From understanding scent theory to mastering practical applications, we'll guide you through the essential foundations that make tracking both rewarding and reliable. You'll learn to read your dog, adapt your methods, and build the confidence needed to handle any tracking challenge that comes your way.
This isn't about following a rigid system; it's about mastering the principles that let you create success stories with every dog you train.

Take your tracking expertise to new heights as we dive into specialised disciplines that can transform lives and make a real difference in your community. This week opens doors to two extraordinary paths: Lost Dog Recovery and Conservation Tracking.
Learn from groundbreaking experience: Dr. Rob's expertise has helped reunite countless lost dogs with their families through his pioneering lost dog tracking programme, the first of its kind to achieve proven success. His conservation work spans continents, including training experts in South Africa to track endangered species, demonstrating how these skills can contribute to global wildlife preservation.
Whether you choose to help distraught owners find their missing pets or support vital conservation efforts, you'll master advanced techniques that set you apart in the industry. These aren't just tracking skills; they're tools that can save lives, protect species, and create extraordinary success stories.
Transform your tracking expertise into specialised services that make a genuine difference while building a unique and rewarding business opportunity.

Transform your tracking expertise into engaging, professional programmes that inspire and educate others. This final week is where your skills as both tracker and teacher come together, creating the foundation for your future success.
