PUTTING THAT SNIFFER TO USE
Our goal for this class is for them to learn how to read their dogs and to pick up on the subtle signals that their dogs communicate with when they are on the trail of their target. Video taping your dog searching will help you identify those subtle body and breathing changes that happen when your dog is close to finding his bounty.
Whether you are using food or toys is not relevant, only that your dog is motivated to hunt for it. Most dogs will look for your guidance when the object of their desire isn't directly found. We need to teach them to put some effort into searching. Once they discover the rewards for completing the task everything will click into place.
