CLASSES

Introduction to Scent - COMPRESSED VERSION - Online Only

This class is for new teams that want to learn about the fun game of scent work. You will have the most success if you know how to motivate your dog (food or toy). No prior obedience training is required. Suitable for dogs of all ages.

 

This class is a compressed version compared to my usual 6-week class. It will be given in 4 weeks and will contain all the material from the usual 6 weeks. I recommend that this class be taken only with those who are able to commit to the full 4 weeks and can work material each week, there will be no "catch up" time built in. Cost is the same as the 6 weeks because the material is the same and you get even more timely feedback from me :)

​

Your dog will learn to recognize birch essential oil, communicate its presence to you, and start working simple search areas. Through this class, your dog will learn to hunt independently and confidently. You will learn about scent work competitions and what is expected from your dog to be ready to start competing. We will use a marking system to create clear understanding of how to earn a reward and to create value on odor.

​

Classes start on November 25th (lecture posted Monday, live lecture Tuesday), and go for 4 consecutive weeks. Please choose only ONE dog to work through this class. I'm happy for you to test it with more than one, but I will be giving feedback and watching videos for only one dog. Thanks! If you have multiple dogs you would like feedback on (changes of behavior mainly for this class), you can sign up once with each dog (2 registrations).

​

Live online lecture (attendance optional, meeting is recorded): TUESDAY evenings at 6pm AZ Time
(No "In-Person" classes)
 

​

Making Containers FUN again! - Online Only

Do you struggle with containers? Do buried searches drive you crazy? Are you plagued with false alerts? Feel like you will "never" pass this element? This class is for you!

​

Each week we will be working on building you & your dog's joy for this element, creating clarity through targeted and thoughtful training. You will learn how your own actions affect your dog's ability to do this search, and we will be teaching your dog to learn how to WORK containers. Each week will have a written lecture as well as a zoom "online lecture". You can expect to see video examples of your homework to help you know what to do! Suitable for ALL levels of competition.

​

You will need to have several types of containers, a detailed list will be posted in the forums. 

This class focuses on the skills needed for "selection" type searches. If you want to focus on buried throughout the class, there will be a section for you to apply the lessons specifically to AKC buried. If you want to ONLY do containers, there will be lots of information for you as well!

 

Class has a live lecture on Tuesdays at 7:00pm. The written lecture will be available on Mondays. Videos must be uploaded to a person platform (youtube, vimeo, Gdrive for example), and the link shared in the forums.

 

​Please choose only ONE dog to work through this class. I will be giving feedback and watching videos for only one dog (please only post videos for one dog). Thanks!
