Introduction to Scent Work Class

$360 +HST for six classes and the scent kit


Want to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, while boosting their confidence? Scent work is a phenomenal way to exercise your dog's brain, boost their confidence with simple games that are naturally rewarding, and fine tune your understanding of their body language, fostering a deeper connection between you both.


In this class, you will learn about the basic concepts of scent work, how to handle odor so we can make and place hides, and build a solid foundation for continuing to learn in and later compete in the sport. 

Our goals for this class:

Use backchaining to build value/history with  odor, introduce and build drive for hunting, and use timing and placement to reward for staying on source. Many fun games are used to progress the teams at their own pace. Other topics include generalization, aging scent, equipment/gear, handling, proactive hide tampering/destruction prevention, creative container placement patterns, handler position, and handler analysis - are we accidentally telling our dogs where the source is?

*Class over Zoom will be available for those who are unable to or prefer not to attend in person.
