T17101: Searching Suburban Environment

COMBINED TRACKING TEAM

THIS WORKSHOP IS TO REFRESH OPERATIONAL TRACKERS AND PRACTICE WORKING WITH TRACKING DOGS.

It is conducted in two parts:

1. The revision and practice of CTT techniques including lessons learnt, new techniques and field exercises by day and night. The number of Operational Trackers involved is limited by the number of Tracking Dogs and handlers attending.
2. Additional numbers of Operational Trackers will take part in a separate program again covering revision/discussion on new techniques, ideas and lessons learnt, followed by practical exercises both during the day and night.

The program is flexible to meet the needs of participants whilst providing the opportunity to revise and practise skills at all levels.

To attend this course participants need to have completed the Operational Tracking course.

Alternatively, if you are a Search Dog Handler with an operational Tracking Dog you are also eligible to participate.
