Tracking Seminars by Xeiko Canine Training
Xeiko's 3-day tracking seminars are designed to teach handlers and their canines the basics of police dog tracking in both rural and urban settings. The training focuses on an article-based methodology to enhance dogs' tracking capabilities on various surfaces, increase their sniff rate, and improve their focus.
Instruction is delivered through both lectures and hands-on practical exercises. Participants will receive detailed lesson plans outlining the methods for training dogs in article indication, field tracking, hard surface tracking, industrial tracking, and residential tracking.
*Working spots are limited to ensure that each canine and handler pair receives adequate practice and repetition with the methods taught. Observer spots are unlimited, providing opportunities for additional attendees to learn through observation without actively participating in the hands-on exercises.
