SCENT DETECTION ADVANCED CLASS
Once your dog has a clear and consistent indication at the source of the odor, we are ready to begin searching.
The size of the search areas and the complexity of the hides increase throughout the class.
This class introduces the four Elements of Scent Work
1) Container Searches
- The source odor in concealed within various containers challenging the dog to indicate which one holds the odor
2) Interior searches
- The source odor is hidden within an indoor search area along with food, toys and other distractions
3) Exterior Searches
- The source odor is hidden in an outdoor search area with changing airflow patterns and natural distractions
4) Buried Hides
- The source odor is buried beneath sand, soil or water
Whether you choose to compete in a trial or want to teach your dog a new skill at home, scent work is a rewarding activity your dog will enjoy doing with you for a lifetime.
