What's next?
Now that you and your dog are addicted to scentwork, how do you increase the challenge without decreasing the fun?
Your dog has learned to search for a specific target scent. You have learned how to use the search plan and now you are ready to increase the challenge. But how?
Perhaps your dog is finding the hides too easily? Or that she is working without you meaning that she's inefficient and less effective. Maybe you aren't sure how to increase the difficult or duration? Or how to learn to work in different areas, e.g. outdoors.
I'm here to help keep you both on track, keep the teamwork strong, maintain the attention and response you've already fostered and open up searches so that you can do them anytime, anywhere.
In this course I detail multiple methods for increasing the challenge, from working outdoors to searching for more than one find, making the scent picture smaller to conducting blank searches. The lessons take you through how to use these techniques to build you and your dog's search skills to allow you to search for longer and find scented articles in a greater variety of hides. Video lessons showing a variety of breeds, downloadable handouts, graded quizzes and more will take your searches to the next level. On completion you will receive a graduation certificate. And you'll have a brilliant scentwork dog!
