Tracking: Freedom to Hunt Style
Got a dog with a nose? This course is for you—LE, SAR, or anyone who wants to get outside and train for real human tracking. Built on instinct, designed for all—and filmed in the mountains of western Montana.
Set in the mountains of western Montana, this is a visually rich, engaging course designed to help any dog learn to track by tapping into their natural hunting instincts. Whether you're working in search and rescue, law enforcement, or just want to have fun outdoors with your dog, this series offers a clear, progressive approach that builds real tracking ability. Through cinematic drone footage, graphic overlays, and real-time role play, you'll learn how to build drive, read scent pictures, and develop a working partnership where the dog leads and the human learns to follow.

Build a motivational system using food, toys, and play—with the goal of developing dogs who find reward in the hunt itself
Grasp core scent theory through practical explanations and real-world applications
Experience graphic overlays on cinematic drone footage—shot in the backcountry of Montana—to bring scent movement and tracking dynamics to life
