The 4-week class will hone that innate sense and introduce independent searching, drive, and problem solving when searching for a specific odor.
This introductory class is hands-off for the handler, and dogs will search for food in different setups and environments. Dogs will work one at a time; other dogs will be working on crate training. Handlers are encouraged to watch other dogs work to help understand the different working styles and learn about the characteristics of how odor travels.
Each session will start with a short classroom portion, and then dogs will work through the rest of the class time.
This class continues on from the Foundations class and introduces the target odors found in competition. We will continue to build the skills already introduced, as well as work on handling skills and new reward techniques.
The Nose Work Foundation class is a prerequisite.
