Finally got round to posting this after a busy couple of weeks…
We have completed the Human ID Tracking Course after 6 in person weekends totalling up to 162(!) hours contact teaching.
We didn’t manage to certify as a handler team, as we only passed 3 out of 5 of the assessments. With that being said…we PASSED 3 out of 5 assessments! And I am so so proud of how far we have come since the start of the course. Reflecting about it now, I’m actually a bit teary thinking how much Avon has come along. I decided to do the course with my crazy, environmental, high energy golden retriever who loves to air scent, I wanted to challenge ourselves as a team, and we got just that!
This was the best course I have ever done hands down, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. I’ve learnt so so much in the 8 months, with knowledge that will stay with me for life. I no longer have a dog who drags me around for air scent, but a tracking dog following where a person has walked, and works methodically. It’s something I’m bringing back to my clients as forever learning and growing, not just as a team but as an instructor too!
I want to say thank you to & as instructors for how you guided and supported us through the course. I’m incredibly grateful for the friends I have made on this course and everything I have learnt.
