About this Seminar:
The Hard Surface K-9 Tracking Seminar teaches students how to start their K-9 partners on hard surfaces typically found in urban environments. K-9s will be taught to successfully track through environments that hold little ground disturbance odor and will focus only on human odor. K-9s will learn solid scent discrimination through this process. The course is an advanced tracking course. It is suitable ONLY for those teams who have completed a basic tracking course. THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER’S COURSE.
