Intro to Scentwork w/ Jen Anderson

Do you have a dog who is timid, lacking confidence or even fearful of its environment? Is your dog not good with other dogs? Or do you sometimes feel like the relationship with your dog seems disconnected at times? Perhaps you would like to do something with your dog but into the fast paced sports like agility...
Nosework is an amazing, easy paced discipline that ALL dogs (and people!) can enjoy. Working off a dogs amazing sense of smell, learn how to give your dog a great mental workout in any setting, including right at home.

This 5 week introductory course is designed for the dog and handler who are new to the Scent and Nose Work sports. It teams you & your dog to search for a specific target odor (Birch). K9 Scent & Nose Work Sport Groups use target odors (e.g. Birch, Anise, Clove, Cypress, etc.) to provide dogs with a sport for their natural scenting skills using a process based game that involves the dog and owner, builds on their ability to imprint on an odor, search/hunt for the odor, provide unique body language to inform the handler that they have scent recognition and ultimately find the source odor and communicate the find. It is a fantastic way to foster a rich engaged relationship with your dog. Scent and Nose work sports are virtually barrier free and are excellent for all dogs, e.g. high energy; cautious; physically challenged, etc.
