What is the NASDA Trailing & Locating Online Program?

The Trailing & Locating Online (TLO) Title Program allows teams to earn NASDA Trailing & Locating titles while training and searching in their own environments. This program follows the same rules and judging criteria as in-person NASDA events, with all earned points contributing to in-person Trailing & Locating I and II titles, in addition to online-only specialist titles.

This module will guide handlers through the rules and expectations for Trailing & Locating Online, including video submission requirements, quarry safety, trail and search setup, handling strategy, and troubleshooting tips to support fair, consistent, and successful participation in the Trailing & Locating Online program.
