The Nose Knows: Scent Games For Your Dog
They are fun, engage your dog’s mind, provide exercise, and create training
opportunities.
Description:
Have you noticed that dogs live by their nose? A dog's sense of smell is more
powerful than we can possibly imagine. They can easily detect the presence
of one drop of blood in a 55-gallon drum of water. All this talent needs a
positive outlet. So instead of nagging at your dog to stop sniffing, here’s
a chance to learn how to have fun letting your dog be led around by his nose!!
Scent work is easy for the dog. Training your dog to play scent games means
figuring out how to “tell” your dog which odor gets rewarded. This
seminar will introduce you to a number of great nose games and show you how
to teach your dog the rules. We’ll use operant conditioning techniques
to “mark” the right odor and then reinforce it with food or play.
Everyone will find themselves in awe of what their dog can learn to do with
his nose and both you and your dog will have lots of fun learning these scent
games!
