Advanced Nosework -Tuesdays @ 7:15 p.m.

THIS IS A 3 WEEK COURSE LOCATED AT BOTHWELL PARK IN THE UPLANDS.

For students who are preparing for Started/Advanced/Excellent Trialing. 

This group is for students who have been through a minimum of Introduction to Nosework. This semester all five lessons will be at Prairie Harley Davidson. We will be working outside as often as weather allows.

We will be taking your Nosework to new heights and skills. We’ll be dealing with distractions, convergence, inaccessibles, multiple searches, clear areas, blind searches, multi-room hides, detailing rooms and more.

To balance new skills with keeping old skills tight, we will also give focus to alert behaviors, proofing skills like corners and whatever training holes our dogs show us.

Always with a concentration on balancing confidence with skill for both the handler and canine, let’s continue playing this awesome game. Please note that you do not need to be trialing for this level, but you do need to have the skills necessary for fairly confident Advanced-Level hides.

Students in this Class Should, At Bare Minimum Have

1. Ability to Search for 2+ minutes.
2. A strong understanding of the Pine and/or Wintergreen scents
3. Have a Stay-at-Source Behavior started
4. Have a Good Understanding of Using Your Leash in a Search Area

Assignments will be tailored to your general level, strengths and weaknesses.
