🐾 Scent Detection For Dog Sportscourse by Kate Lloyd
Headline: 🚀 Teach Your Dog Nose Work or Scent Work - Discover the Source of Specific Hidden Odours!
Course Overview: Welcome to a unique and rewarding journey with your canine companion! In this comprehensive course, Scent Detection For Dog Sportsc, you'll learn how to effectively train your dog to detect specific odours, just like the professionals. Unlike traditional nose work training that relies on food searches, this method focuses on teaching your dog to identify a chosen scent and respond with a trained behaviour upon finding its source.
Why This Approach?
- Efficiency: Your dog learns what to do once they detect the odour, eliminating the need for extensive searching.
- Engagement: The training is designed to be exciting and rewarding, fostering your dog's natural enthusiasm for the task.
- Problem Prevention: This method helps avoid common issues like excessive scratching or improper alerting behaviors.
What You'll Learn:
- Preparation and Motivation: We'll start by setting you up for success with the right preparations and ensuring your dog is eager to learn.
- Back Chaining Technique: We introduce the dog to the odour first, then teach the desired behavior when the scent is detected, followed by guiding the dog to locate the odour. This is similar to how detection dogs are trained for various professional roles.
- Reward Systems: Learn how to use effective reward signals like a clicker or verbal marker to clearly communicate what behaviors are rewarded.
- Odour Handling: We'll explore different food delivery methods and everyday items you can use to enhance your dog's ability to indicate the source of the odour.
- Training Equipment: Utilize common household items such as colanders, PVC pipes, bricks, cardboard boxes, and plastic storage containers to simulate different search environments.
