SUMMARY:K9 Tracking & Conservation Scent Detection | Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to build the behavior\, work the dog\, identify the problem\, and develop the solution. \nThe K9 Tracking & Conservation Scent Detection Course is an intensive professional development program focused on developing K9s\, handlers\, and trainers for conservation and other professional working-dog applications. \nTaught in partnership with Scent Imprint for Conservation Dogs\, the course brings together instructors Wesley Visscher and Mike Veale and highly trained working K9s representing multiple breeds and working styles. \nParticipants will learn how to develop\, work\, refine\, and troubleshoot scent-detection behaviors with applications including endangered species conservation\, wildlife monitoring\, research\, and counter-wildlife trafficking. \nThe tracking and trailing portion progresses from developing reliable foundational behaviors into more advanced fieldwork\, including high-risk K9 tracking concepts and applications. \nWhether you’re completely new to K9 training or an experienced handler or trainer looking to work through advanced procedures and protocols\, exercises can be adapted to provide focused development appropriate to your experience level. \nProgram Length: 7 days | 6 nights \nDates: June 19–25\, 2027 \nLocation: Ens\, Netherlands \nCost: $2\,000 \nInstructors: Wesley Visscher & Mike Veale \nClick Here To Apply
