Enroll Your Dog in Tracking Programs

Dogs are natural trackers. Tracking is the discipline of smelling for disruption on the ground. At Elevate Canine Academy, we offer tracking programs during the summer months when it’s pleasant to be outside. The programs are geared for customers who want to do something fun with their dogs. Our tracking program features:

  • Weekday evening classes
  • One-hour sessions
  • $35 per session
  • Continuous feedback and evaluation
  • Self-paced for your dog’s progress

This program isn’t about a specific odor. Instead, it helps dogs identify differences in the environment.

Tracking Training FAQ

At what age should I start training my dog in tracking?

Dogs can learn tracking skills at any age, but starting with puppies or young adults is ideal. However, older dogs can also enjoy and benefit from tracking. At Elevate Canine Academy, we assess each dog individually and create a training plan based on their age, breed, and current abilities.

How long does it take to train a dog in tracking?

The time needed to train a dog in tracking depends on their natural abilities, training consistency, and desired skill level. Basic tracking skills often develop in a few weeks, while advanced tracking may take several months. At Elevate Canine Academy, our programs are designed to progress at a comfortable pace for both you and your dog.

Can any breed of dog learn tracking?

Yes, almost any breed can learn tracking! While some breeds like Bloodhounds or German Shepherds are known for their tracking skills, all dogs have a natural instinct to use their nose. At Elevate Canine Academy, we’ve successfully trained many different breeds in tracking. We adjust our methods to fit each dog’s unique traits and abilities.
