Scentwork
Advanced Beginner Scent Work
Fridays 4:45 – 5:45 pm
This class is designed to increase you and your dog’s understanding of odor and how to search. The dog and you will learn the basics of handling, the power of reinforcement, changes of behavior and transitions between hides, including some elevation of hides. We will introduce dealing with distractions, Anise, and work on letting our dogs lead the search. If your dog is trialing at the novice level, but not quite ready for advanced, we will touch on this transition
