Course Details
Training with clarity is a goal for any sports training and it’s no different for Nosework! How clear is your dog on the expectations of a search? Nosework struggles are often a lack of understanding. Contrasts highlight those struggles, bring balance to our training and provide a path of understanding for the dog and handler. We can then tweak the training to bring clarity to the game.
Will odor always be in a container? Will odor always be accessible? What about that distractor? Will there always be odor?? Nosework is not only about finding target odor. It is also about clearing cold areas, working through pooling odor, dismissing novel odors and more! By structuring our training to include contrasts, dogs learn to understand more clearly the essential elements of the task.
