Part 1 of Intro to K9NW. Dogs will learn to confidently solve different kinds of K9NW problems with primary rewards (eg. food) to create enthusiastic, confident, and independent thinking search dogs before moving onto to odor.
Once completing Intro to Odor class you may join our Novice level Continuing K9 Nose Work Skills where we'll begin broadening your dogs skillset and introduce new target odor. We also start shifting more focus onto handler skills in these classes!
In a 30 minute recreational training session we can cover topics like Tricks, Rally Obedience, Nosework, and Cooperative Care. Held at our Langley facility. NOT FOR BEHAVIOUR TRAINING. See website for application for behaviour training.
