Working the track

Compare the laid track with the dog’s search path.

Turn a laid track into a training session you can understand: Knurrix supports the approach to the scent pad, the search and the review afterwards.

Approach the scent pad calmly.

Confirm the dog and current conditions before the search. Approach mode helps you find the saved start without revealing the full track in advance.

Knurrix records a separate search path. Indicated and missed articles, plus observations at corners, stay attached to the session.

Afterwards, Knurrix overlays the search path and laid track. The configured line length is considered when estimating the dog’s position.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know.

Can several dogs work the same track at once?

No. Each search belongs to exactly one dog. Additional training attempts are recorded as separate searches.

Does the handler see the whole route beforehand?

A shared track does not have to reveal its route in advance, allowing realistic training or trial simulation.

How is the dog’s position estimated?

Knurrix uses the selected line length as an offset from the handler’s GPS position. It is a transparent estimate, not centimetre-accurate measurement.
