Day 5 - Independent Searching and Indicating

Key points for this training:


  • Create small distances → it’s not about the distance, but about making the dog search
  • Reward immediately when finding and indicating
  • Give short help if needed, but only if the dog is not looking at you


Congratulations! In just five days you’ve built the foundation. Your dog now searches for and indicates objects with human scent – this is the very first, but also the most important step of our tracking system.
