Dogs have a sense of smell up to 100,000 times more than that of humans which has been harnessed to aide us for centuries. Now that your pup has been trained on the fundamentals using Tania and Sams’ foundation techniques you may be interested in getting your canine friend involved with scent work.
There are many facets to this that you may wish to explore such as tracking for search and rescue, hunting or competing at dog shows, detecting odours for the benefit of humans like animal/plant pest and threatened species detection, truffle finding and sniffing out medical conditions such as cancers and viral diseases. In fact, trials are now underway to train dogs to detect the presence of covid19 in many countries. You may just wish to teach your dog these skills for fun, as the dog thinks it’s just a big game with great rewards.
I’m a professional detector dog handler working at the border for a government agency, so as a matter of routine I am constantly involved with training canines on target odours and honing their skills to constantly improve.
What ever your goals with your dog are, I can customise a training program to help you achieve great outcomes. I employ the same training approach as Tania and Sam, using passive and active techniques versus correction to illicit the desired behavior and to set your dog up for success.
One on one training
$210 for an hour during the day during the week and $240 for an hour on the weekends
