Tracking/Trailing

NOTHING builds a dog's confidence like tracking. Whether you are interested in teaching your dog a fun new game of 'hide and seek' or you want to turn your shepherd into a true search and rescue man tracker, RYP can help you and your dog learn the art of tracking. 

​

Tracking games start as young as 8 weeks old! Give us a shout to learn how to get your puppy off on the right 'track'.

RYP had the opportunity to spend time learning and filming 'Tactical Manhunting' with some of the best handlers and trainers in the world. Checkout the promo RYP put together here.

Blood Tracking/
Wounded Game Recovery

​

We have a dedicated and ethical hunting community here in western MT. Despite that, accidents happen and animals can get injured and disappear during hunting season. Why not then deploy your own trained tracking dog to assist with the ethical recovery of that animal? 

Program will be geared as a board and train with handler training private lessons combined. Best breeds for blood tracking : Hounds, German Shepherds, Malinois/Dutch Shepherds, Labs even Dachshunds (these little dudes are blood tracking dynamos actually). Any dog can track - some may just have more natural drive for it than others.
