Workshop: Clearing Areas

Service Description

Learn different strategies for navigating an area search with your dog - watch each team navigate known or unknown hides, adapted to their level. Best suited for dogs already on odour (Kong or clove), though all levels are welcome. A great chance to work your dog in a new location. Spaces limited to 6 teams. What to expect if… •⁠ ⁠… I’m fairly new to scentwork: Working in a new place is exciting but may also be challenging (dogs are very contextual). We’ll take it easy and build your confidence throughout the day. •⁠ ⁠… I’ve been doing scentwork for a bit but am still working known hides: We’ll continue working on known hides and begin to introduce strategies for navigating an area, working together with your dog. •⁠ ⁠… I’ve been doing scentwork for a while and are working unknown hides: We’ll most likely already have talked about strategies during our sessions, and we’ll continue to build on them. For those that are ready, we may also do searches with an unknown number of hides. The goal of this workshop is to have fun, build confidence and learn new skills.
