NW 1 - Intro to Nose Work
This class will introduce you and your dog to nose work by bringing out your dog's natural desire to hunt. Boxes and other containers will be used indoors. If you want to continue past the intro class, you will need a clicker. You wont use the clicker in this class but you and your dog will learn how to use a clicker to progess to the next level.
NW 2 - Intro to Odor
Again, we will be working indoors mostly and with containers but will be introducing dogs to birch and the concept of a focused response. By the end of the class, most dogs will be working on odor only and should be prepared for their odor recognition test on birch. Completion of NW1 is required.
NW 3 - Interiors, Exteriors and Vehicles
This class continues your introduction to nose work by introducing the
special challenges hunting on grass, asphalt and concrete present to
dogs. How air flow around vehicles affects scent will also be
introduced. A few classes will be indoors so that owners can learn
leash handling and indoor pattern searches but most classes will be held
outdoors. Dress accordingly. Completion of NW 1 and NW 2 are required.
Intro to Nose Work classes now forming in the Harrisburg area. Free intro seminars will be announced soon.
