Online Class - Phase X- Crime Scene Processing for the Tracking K9

The simple fact of the matter for criminal tracking cases is there is almost zero training on how to manage a scene and provide a good tracking scent source for the dog. This class is fundamentally one of the most important courses anyone using as tracking dog from a contaminated scene can take. Jeff will show handlers not only how to protect the scene, but also preserve it for other evidence taking measures all while providing a good scent source for the dog to start on. 

Participants who cannot attend due to unforeseen  circumstances may take a future course at no additional charge. All Tracking courses are for any potential tracking K9. This includes apprehension and non- apprehension.

The purpose of this class is to work the dog into changes of environments and surfaces using our proven method of training. Learn how human scent pictures work on various surfaces and how to allow your dog to work them in a natural way.

Jeff's system is a natural training method using the dogs innate skills at tracking scent. Skills that are hardwired into the dog at birth and not something that can be replicated by humans. Jeff's philosophy is that we cannot train a dog to track as it already has this capability as soon as it crawling shortly after birth. If anything, human interpretation of this ability is often skewed and many training styles are often contradictory to Canid tracking instinct. Our job as handlers is to harness this natural ability and teach the dog to trail/ track in a variety of environments and to stay focused on one target at a time; scent discrimination. 

Each class is approximately 2-2.5 hours long based on Q&A time after the powerpoint. The PowerPoint includes videos and diagrams of actual training exercises for each phase. Post presentation, Jeff will be available for up to 2 individual Q&A emails per phase and per student. Jeff's book is recommended reading prior to the class but not mandatory.
