Competition Tracking – Working Trials
Working Trials is a competitive sport essentially revolving around General Purpose Police Dog work. The format of the trials has changed very little since the 1960s, with the competing dog and handler being required to demonstrate their capabilities in a variety of exercises.
Given the unparalleled capability of Karenswood (International) Ltd in all of the Working Trials disciplines, we are pleased to offer tuition for Working Trials competitors and their dogs.
Tracking & Search Work
The aim of tracking is to occasion the dog to follow a human trail that has been deliberately, or involuntarily, laid along a specific route. The dog and handler must then unerringly follow this trail, or “line”, to its conclusion.
In addition to the fidelity of its track, the dog will also be required to recover a number of articles within a marked area.
