During the course I will teach you how to switch from toy motivation to systematic search. We will cover several topics, specifically:
- How to switch from play to search
- How to use a bricks wall properly
- How to reduce the size of the target
- How to increase sniffing frequency
The course is mainly intended for people who wish to work as a detection dog handler (e.g. in the conservation, pest control, private security, human remains, etc) but it is open also to those who want to learn more about this training.
Detection can also be a fun and entertaining activity: a growing number of enthusiasts are approaching this type of work because it is satisfying for both humans and dogs.
You are not required to buy expensive training material, all you need to be able to participate is a bricks wall (or similar material) and two red Kong or two identical toys that the dog loves. It is strongly suggested to enroll at the same time in the course “A world of scent” to acquire the theoretical knowledge necessary to successfully attend this course. We do not repeat here the basic theoretical concepts.
