Introducing Tracking to the Mantrailing Dog Webinar

Join industry experts Kathryn Love and Kevin Motion for an in depth webinar designed to help handlers build strong, lasting foundations when introducing tracking skills to the Mantrailing dog. This webinar is not a step-by-step tracking recipe, as each dog is an individual. Instead, it focuses on the why behind the work, giving handlers the knowledge needed to understand learning, scent behaviour, and how dogs generalise skills across contexts. How to blend tracking and mantrailing to have a dog which understands the game clearly and thrives. Teaching you as a handler how to train with clarity, patience, and purpose, whether you’re new to tracking foundations or looking to refine your existing approach. What we’ll focus on: 🔴Understanding how dogs learn and the importance of generalising skills, not just repeating exercises. Doing the same thing over and over again with the wrong results, isn't progress. 🔴 Why tracking alone won’t stop guessing, and how teaching the skill properly changes the dog’s decision making helps you read the dogs better as a handler. 🔴 Addressing long term reinforcement of the head up behaviour in mantrailing dogs which may be hindering your progress, and how to intentionally build head down tracking and more focused use of ground scent can help your mantrailing dog thrive. 🔴 Using articles to teach accuracy and build meaningful repetitions, both in training sessions and at home. 🔴 And above all… PATIENCE! Your dog knows where the scent is — you don’t. Learning to trust the dog and allow them to work through problems is key. This webinar is ideal for handlers who want a deeper understanding of tracking foundations and how they integrate into mantrailing, delivered through evidence-based training principles and real-world experience.
