Decoy escape with Sig rocking the Combat Systems Full spec combat harness!
Bit of impulse control and OB while fixed on target with Sig. Can`t wait to have my pup back out of Kennels and into a serious block of training!
"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Boondock Saints
Just playing around with Siggy today, seeing if we can reinvent the right-hand turn for OB 😅

A couple of my best mentors in the dog world.
@jhschettler from GAK9 and Anna from Follow dogs/GAK9 UK were both huge influences getting me into tactical tracking with dogs.
Originally, Sig was bought purely as a Sport dog, but after trying Mantrailing as a way to work Sig in drive through environments she struggled with, I fell in love with the game of tracking.
Contrasted to the precision and control in sport, while trailing the dog has freedom to use its full God-given capabilities. The relationship transforms from leader and subordinate to a team working to solve a difficult task together.
I think it`s a change for life now that I`ve been bitten by the bug for trailing, and I`m sure the next dog will be starting its journey on this skill from day 1!

When I founded Snakeshead K9 my mission was simple: put the best-built gear in the hands of UK handlers.
A decade engineering consumer and defence products taught me two things:
1️⃣ Spec sheets can lie.
2️⃣ Real-world testing confirms.
Every product that reaches our shelves survives my own gauntlet, drop tests, pull tests, soak tests, bite tests, until only the best remain. Engineering first principles help eradicate products that are flawed by design, but real world testing brings out the gems!
@moderniconk9’s Rigid Collar is the benchmark.
• Leaf-spring rigidity spreads impact, keeps trachea and carotids protected.
• ISC Klick-Lock buckle holds 1,800kg = won’t pop under pressure.
• Mil-Spec webbing, corrosion-proof hardware, zero-slop finish.
Plenty of collars look “tactical.” Most fold like wet noodles when the dog hits the line. This post breaks down why rigidity matters, how bad gear blood-chokes your partner, and the exact standards every rival must beat to make it into our store.
Swipe in, compare your current collar to the metrics that matter, and decide if your dog is wearing armour, or an accident waiting to happen.

What happens when you get enthralled by the game of hunting people with dogs!
Without jumping into all the titles only on Kindle, these are some of the best books I have on tracking (with and without dogs).
Anything by Jeff Scettler is a must-have if you are serious about hunting people with your dog.
Also a really big fan of the book by @perry.mcgee on operational tracking with and without dogs. An absolutely comprehensive guide, and if I could only have 1 book to get me started, this would be it!
I`d love to know any other gems people might have for learning this skill?
