Event Details
"This scent work taster offers a practical introduction to the foundations of nosework and is suitable for virtually any dog. Because it relies on mental effort rather than physical exertion, it works well for older dogs, dogs with physical limitations, high-energy dogs who need help focusing, and shy or fearful dogs who benefit from confidence-building activities.
You will learn how to train a clear indication so your dog can confidently tell you when they have found the target scent. The session also introduces basic nosework searches and how to set them up in a way that keeps dogs motivated and successful.
Exercises include working with random objects and identical containers, teaching dogs to ignore distractions and trust their noses. The session is hands-on, supportive, and designed to strengthen the working relationship between you and your dog."
