Course Details
Your dog loves you so will love to find your scent! In this workshop you will learn how to tap into your dog’s hunt drive! The key is getting them to use their nose which often is the biggest obstacle when first starting.
Using techniques from teaching Nosework, we start directly on target odor - your scent - without pairing with food. This workshop is suitable for students looking to apply these skills for Scent Work or Obedience Scent Articles.
The workshop will cover:
- Initial training steps for building value for your scent
- Using search games to increase hunt drive and build confidence
- Adding discrimination against other articles and another handler's scent
- Problem solving
The workshop will not cover retrieving. The focus is teaching value for finding your scent!
Equipment needed: Items for starting scent (not formal obedience articles). Something leather, metal, wood, or cotton. Optional: bowls
