This will be a seminar of interest to both beginners and experienced trackers. You will be introduced to some new and more efficient ways to reach your scent work goals.

Some of the things covered will include:

- introduction to scent work
- setting realistic goals
- how to keep your air scenting dog on the track
- are you training your dog to fail?
- Plus lots more!

We plan on running at least 4 individual tracks with every dog during the two day event, so come prepared to work!

There will be continental breakfast and lunch provided both days, plus many food establishments are located within 15 minutes of the seminar site. The PKC has a great facility including indoor training and eating area, pluys 19 acres of tracking just outside the door. Good crating both inside and outside under cover.
