I really love this track and have watched numerous times. I love seeing how the pup goes off track then circles back to regain it again.

Seeing the puppy focus and so task oriented is fascinating, and we are only at week 2 of the course. Belgian Malinois Queensland - Feroz Malinois - Breeding & Training Centre providing a great example of the hard work and dedication that they and the other handlers have been putting in during there time on The Blueprint To Hard Surface Tracking online course.

🚨🚨APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED🚨🚨

Due to the overwhelming response I have had to stop taking applications for Blueprint to Hard Surface Tracking test handler program early to save disappointing too many people.

As we have had large numbers of people apply not everyone who put in an application is guaranteed a spot.

But don’t worry if you missed out on the tester program you will be able to still access the course in its entirety when it is completed, packaged and ready to go.

Thank you all that have applied, I’ll be in contact with you shortly 😊

Hey guys I am looking for a small group of handlers to be testers in my new on-line course “Blueprint to Hard Surface Tracking”

This program is best suited for the handler who is struggling and frustrated with their tracking/trailing progress and wants a way to transform their dog’s tracking/trailing ability from unreliable to dependable.

Being able to trust your dog when on a track is vital in order to achieve the find, and I found no better way to build that trust than by using water intensified hard surface tracking methods.

If you are want to transform your dog tracking/trailing and want to be apart of this exciting project, then head on over to my website where applications can be found

The age old question of what is better tracking or trailing dogs?

In this video I share my insights and experiences from years of working a Police Dog Handler as well as running numerous tracking and trailing workshops.

Super proud of this girl, today she went through and gained her PDC with the top score in the PDC division.

I always say this dog is the smartest little dog I have ever worked and it is a pleasure working and developing her.

A big thank you to Tim, Damo, Colin, Tamika, Sandi, Jess, Ben, Layla, Meadow, Marcus, Casey Josh and my wife. All have contributed to the development and support for todays result.

Even though I mainly specialise in tracking, obedience and protection work, I do love a good reactive dog client case.

It’s always a pleasure to see how much even a couple of sessions can transform a reactive dog into a calm and confident dog.

Great work Sam and Hugo 👏👏👏 Tracking on hard surface is no easy feat, and to do so requires great amounts of hard work and patience. Nothing worth while comes easy, but if you can get your dog out to track on hard surface you can track anywhere. Seeing this dog team work throughout the 6 weeks was an absolute pleasure and looking forward to seeing their progress in the future.

By week 5 of Blueprint To Hard Surface Tracking all reinforcements have been faded from the track and we are left with articles as our checkpoints.

With the Blueprint to Hard Surface Tracking online course coming to an end, it is now time to reflect and evaluate the data points we have gained from guiding our participants through the 6 week course. A massive thank you to all who participated and made the course a great success. We have definitely made the beginnings of a little hard surface tracking community. Now time to edit and package up all the videos from the course. Here is a little sample from week 2’s protocol.

Successive approximation is the process of reinforcing steps of desirable behaviors which are getting closer to the target behavior. This is one of the main benefits of hydration intensified tracking is that there are several ways to incrementally increase requirements to a successful track. Today we increased distance between reinforcements and added a curve to the track.

The early bird truly does gets the worm 🪱 😅

Exciting times ahead in the online space for the Summerland Dog Training tracking program. #watchthisspace #hardsurfacetracking #onlinecourse
