About the Workshop
What is our role during the searching game of Nose Work with our dogs?
Have you ever noticed that when you transitioned from food searches to target odours, your dog started to slow down, focus on you more, or even lose a bit of that original joy in searching?
In this workshop, John Sam (Certified Nose Work Instructor with NACSW) will guide us through the concept of Dog Driven Handling — a way of working that puts the dog’s natural hunting ability back at the centre of the search.
Drawing on the ideas developed by Sue Sternberg and Dana Zinn in The Dog-Driven Search, John will take a deep dive into how our own body language affects the dog during a search, and how even small movements from us can either support — or accidentally get in the way of — the dog's natural hunt drive.
It’s all about building more awareness of what we are communicating (even when we don’t realise it) and how shifting our handling approach can encourage greater independence, joy, and enthusiasm from our dogs in Nose Work.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for all teams — whether your dog is still working on pairing odour with food or you’re well into the masters levels.
If you're passionate about making the search game as clear, rewarding, and dog-centred as possible, this one’s for you.
Spots are limited. Early booking is recommended.
