Scent & Track UK: Who We Are
Scent and Track UK was initiated in 2019 by a small collection of passionate, like-minded dog trainers with experience in companion dog, working dog, and sport dog scentwork and tracking. We initially hosted a few scent and tracking based workshops through the year, but we have grown to running a whole host of activities including Tracking and our very own TrackStars Scheme, Scent detection and Scent Ops Trials, Manhunt event days, Puppy scent games, Scent Camp and loads more
Claire
Claire began tracking in 2004 with her crossbreed dog Lolly. Since then, she has trained tracking with a variety of non-traditional breeds, and now runs a specialist Lost Dog Tracking consultancy alongside her dog training business.
Claire currently works with her Lurcher as an operational Lost Dog Tracking team (and runs the team), and competes in two dog sports incorporating – tracking (IGP), where claire has represented team GB for two years in a row, – and scentwork (KC Obedience) with her Belgian Malinois.
Jemma
Jemma discovered the joys of scentwork with her rescue dog Kimi in 2011, when looking for a fun activity suitable for an ageing dog. Seeing how much it inspired a second lease of life in Kimi, Jemma then began scentwork enrichment activities while working in rescue, and now regularly uses both scentwork and tracking with her training and behaviour clients.
Jemma started tracking in 2019, and wrote the TrackStars scheme, and currently works with her Australian Kelpie as an operational Lost Dog Tracking team.
