TrackStars™

TrackStars™ is our tracking training pathway, aimed at dogs and handlers looking for a fun and rewarding activity they can enjoy together.
Learn to work with your dog and harness their natural tracking and trailing ability by working together to follow specifically laid scent tracks and find lost items on the route. You and your dog will work as a team, building your relationship together whilst enriching your dog’s life by being part of one of their favourite pastimes.
TrackStars™ is a non-competitive progressive scheme aiming to promote teamwork between dog and handler, and encourage people to have fun whilst earning titles and awards with their dog. As such, the levels are designed to develop skills and build confidence as a team with each advancement. All teams have the opportunity to earn certificates and collect achievement awards through workshops, regular training groups, and assessment sessions.
TrackStars™ was created by Jemma at Scent and Track UK, and is available across the UK with our dedicated TrackStars Instructors. All Instructors have fully completed and been assessed on our extensive TrackStars Instructor course to gain their credentials.
