Introduction to Scent Training

Service Description

This is a 6 week group course on the introduction of scent training for your dog and the training methodology. Puppies/Dogs over 5 months of age and fully vaccinated are welcome! Scent training celebrates the dog’s innate ability to sniff and becomes a fun game for the dog, as well as handler. The dog is put in charge of this nose game and allows them to work independently, as well as part of the dog/handler team. This training is based on detection dog training. Even if your dog is reactive, this class is for you. Only one dog works at a time, so their is no distractions of other dogs and their handlers. The first class will have an orientation at the beginning and then class will begin with you working your dogs. Reminder, that one dog works at a time. Your dog does NEED to be able to sit quietly in your car in a crate. As each dog will be worked individually, so the others dogs do need to be contained in the car. As weather might be warm, you might have to have windows and doors open, so a crate is recommended. Also, if you are considering competing in a type of scent training competition, it is a rule now that all dogs are confined to crates in the vehicle. There are four forms to be submitted as well: Hold Harmless Form, Social Media Consent, a Vaccine Verification, and a COVID-19 Waiver. If there is inclement weather that does not allow us to meet in person, the class will be rescheduled accordingly. You will need: LOTS of HIGH Value Treats, preferably human food. Water and a bowl. Means of keeping your pet cool in the vehicle while waiting. Collar/Harness Leash
