Have you ever considered tracking with your dog? Any form of scent work offers incredible benefits for both you and your dog. Whether your dog needs a positive outlet for their energy, struggles with nervousness or reactivity, or simply loves sniffing, tracking provides the perfect activity. It’s an ideal way to engage your dog mentally and physically while tapping into their natural instincts.
Tracking is a skill that dogs inherently possess, and we specialise in harnessing this natural ability to work alongside you, strengthening your bond and enhancing their focus.
• We offer tailored tracking workshops suitable for all levels of experience. Whether you’re a beginner looking to introduce your dog to tracking or you’re eager to develop your dog’s skills further, our workshops are designed to help you progress at your own pace.
• Led by a UK Sniffer Dog Ultimate Tracking Instructor, these workshops provide expert guidance in tracking techniques and allow you to work through various levels as you and your dog grow in this exciting skill.
Dogs love to sniff — but without direction, it can feel chaotic.
Tracking channels your dog’s natural instincts into a focused, structured activity that’s both enriching and rewarding.
Perfect for:
✅ Wandering noses and outdoor adventurers
✅ Reactive or anxious dogs needing clarity
✅ Energetic minds with no off-switch
✅ Dogs that need a job to do
Tracking asks your dog to follow a specific human scent trail — using their brain, nose, and body in harmony.
✅ Mental and physical challenge
✅ Builds independence and impulse control
✅ Boosts confidence in dogs who struggle
✅ Develops teamwork and clear communication
✅ Extremely satisfying for both dog and handler
Tracking taps into your dog’s natural instincts, allowing them to engage in behaviour that is instinctual and rewarding. Dogs love using their noses, and tracking gives them a structured outlet to do so.
As tracking requires concentration and precision, it significantly enhances your dog’s focus. The mental stimulation involved is excellent for dogs who may need more engagement than a typical walk can provide.
Tracking is not just a physical exercise—it’s a mentally enriching activity that helps your dog stay sharp, focused, and engaged. It provides both a challenge and a reward, which is great for overall well-being.
Tracking is suitable for dogs of all ages and breeds. Since it’s a low-impact activity, it can be done by dogs who may not be able to participate in higher-energy activities like running or agility.
Whether your dog is young or senior, high-energy or low-key, tracking can be tailored to suit their individual needs and abilities. It’s also a fantastic option for dogs that may struggle with traditional training methods or have behavioural challenges.

Runs from various locations
At the core of tracking is the dog’s ability to follow a scent trail, often tracing the specific path someone took, as they would in search-and-rescue missions or locating lost items. Tracking gives your dog the opportunity to engage in these natural, highly rewarding behaviours, while providing you both with a fulfilling and productive activity to enjoy together.
Tracking is currently offered as workshops at various venues—please take a look at social media or contact me for more information!
Give it a go—you and your dog might just discover a new passion!
