Suggested Training Frequency:

To build a solid foundation on a trailing dog you need to train with your dog 3-4 times per week for about 12-14 months. The benchmarks in the following task book are based on that training regiment.

Section B: Trails using components

Date Initiated: ________________________
The purpose of this section of the task book is to serve as a link to the comprehensive training logs corresponding to that particular training. This book should not be used as a sole source for evaluating any K9 team. For complete training discussions, please refer to the training logs listed for each task.



Section A – Dog Training (Components only)
None of these components are to be done blind. Intensities must follow each component.

2) To make sure the K-9 team will stop trailing when there is for example a vehicle pick-up or

one-day old trail in the given environment.
