Training with Deer Tracking Services
Training Days
Our aim is to train handlers with their hounds and dogs of any breed to track wounded deer. This can be from a complete novice with a young or in-experienced hound requiring to achieve a basic level of tracking ability, to a more experienced handler wishing to track to a professional standard.
This is quite a new approach in the U.K. and the Bavarian Mountain Hound Society of GB have constructed a series of qualifications, namely Schwiesshund I & Schweisshund II, based on the recognised tracking Schweisshund qualifications from various countries within Europe. Although the name suggests Bavarian Mountain Hounds only, these test are open to all K.C/F.C.I. registered breeds and we can mentor you towards these standards should you wish to do so.
In essence if your hound shows an aptitude for tracking we can train you both to follow anything from a 'hot track', to one that which has aged 24 hours or more.
