Foundations of Scent Work
What does a reliable foundation in scent work look like? Your dog loves the game and is confident that they can find the source as they keep searching. They are an independent searcher who will take guidance from you when necessary but will keep searching on their own without much prompting. Your dog is confident that you will respond when they indicate that they found the source. This class is designed to help you build a solid foundation with your dog so you both can thoroughly enjoy the game!
