Introduction to Nosework
(Foundations for Nosework)
In this class you and your dog will learn the basics of Nosework.
Nosework is a dog sport where your dog uses the power of their nose,
with the hunting skills your dog already has, to find treats.
Treats (high value rewards) are used until the dog learns the
hunting game. Ultimately, with this strong foundation, in a
follow on class your dog will move on to finding target odor and
more challenging hides. This is a class for all dogs - shy dogs
learn to build confidence, reactive dogs learn to hunt
without any other dogs present, senior dogs can still play, and
young dogs learn to focus. During the search the handler does
very little other than follow the dog and reinforce the dog at the
very moment the dog finds the treat. In fact, the less the handler
does, the better. This is the dog's game and they love it!
Dogs will learn to search in boxes and will progress to searching
high and low around barriers. All training occurs inside the training
facility. Dogs in season and wearing diapers may take the class.
Dogs work one at a time from their owners vehicle.
