ODTCW
Intro to Scent Training (Thurs)
Thursdays at 6pm with Lauren Stornelli
Service Description
Dogs and handlers will begin building foundational scent work skills throughout this class. Teams will be introduced to target odors and learn how to search confidently and independently across a variety of environments. Early sessions focus on odor recognition and developing strong, motivated searching. As dogs advance, they will learn to leave an initial hide and continue working additional hides, while handlers build the skills needed to support their dogs effectively. This class series develops skills across the five AKC/NACSW scent work elements. By the end of the course, teams will have completed full element searches. Dogs should be able to work on a leash or long line.
