Nose Work Ongoing
Continue your skills in Nose Work.
Description
K9 Nose Work allows your dog to have fun doing what they do best!
It is easy to learn and provides a safe way to keep dogs fit and healthy through mental and physical exercise. K9 Nose Work can help your dog build confidence, improve their behavior and obedience, as well as strengthen your bond! Any dog can enjoy the sport, all they need is a passion for following their nose!
In this course, students will expand on searches, including paired and unpaired, high hides, low hides and inaccessible hides. Students will continue to search interiors, exteriors, vehicles, and containers both indoor and outdoor. This course will also help students prepare for competition.
Prerequisites
Age of Dog: 6 months and older
Completion of Intro to Odor or instructor permission.
Must be crate trained (Dogs will will be in crates in another room while they wait their turn to work!)
What to bring
You will need a flat collar or harness that attaches in the back. (You don't want to use anything that only has a front attachment because you want your dog to pull toward the scent!)
Additionally,
- Leash at least 6 feet long
- 100 small, super exciting treats for your dog. These can be purchased from your instructor. If bringing treats from home, please choose treats that don't crumble. Cheese, meat, hot dogs, and liver work well.
- A squeaky toy if you have one. A toy with a short rope also works well.
- We recommend a treat pouch. This can be purchased from your instructor.
