Trailing Instructors Course

Trailing Instructors Course

Application form for the Trailing K9s Academy Instructors Course
At Trailing K9s, we believe trailing isn’t just about following a scent—it’s about building a deep partnership between dog and handler, and sharing that passion with others.

As an instructor, you’re not only teaching skills, you’re inspiring confidence, creating safe learning environments, and helping handlers unlock their dogs’ full potential.

This course is designed to give you the knowledge, tools, and structure you need to feel confident in your role as a trailing instructor.

Together, we’ll explore scent theory, body language, problem-solving on the trail, and effective ways to coach handlers of all levels. You’ll learn how to explain complex concepts in simple, practical ways, and how to adapt training so every dog-handler team can succeed.

Our aim is to support you in developing your own teaching style while staying true to the Trailing K9s ethos: making trailing accessible, fun, and rewarding for both ends of the lead.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only have the skills to run engaging, professional sessions—you’ll also have the confidence to guide handlers on their journey, just as you’ve been guided on yours.

Let’s get started—your journey to becoming a Trailing K9s Instructor begins here.

Running on the 9th to 13th March & 18th to 22nd May 2026 at Mid Wales Holidays, Llandinam.
On site accommodation available to book alongside the course.
