Track Imprinting, Handler Reading and Training Development

This course develops the dog’s commitment to human scent, track odor, ground disturbance, and direction of travel while teaching the handler to read their canine and its line behavior. Scenario-based training will ensure that exercises meet tracking and search & rescue canine team needs, including follow-on actions by the tracking/SAR team.

Pax Canine Operations is committed to ensuring that handlers are equipped not only to learn their canine’s tracking behavior, but also learn how to construct training on their own to continue to advance their canine.
