Intro to Scent Detection
For dogs 6 months and older, with little or no experience working on odor detection.
Intro to Scent Detection is taught in Private Lesson format. It is designed to focus on building recognition for target odor, how to work a search pattern, and teaching the dog and handler the importance of an indication. Lessons are a half hour in length. The number of lessons needed before being allowed to participate in the open practices varies with each individual dog/handler team, although 6 lessons seems to be the average number of lessons needed. This class must be completed, and instructor approval must be given, prior to participating in any Scent Detection Drop-In Classes. *After the Intro class, attendance can be at your convenience at the level you and your dog are training in.* |
