LEVEL 3: INTRO TO ANISE SCENT WORK
LEVEL 3: INTRO TO ANISE SCENT WORK
In this first session of classes, we introduce you and your dog to the scenting game by using your dog’s choice of motivator— whether it’s high value treats or a high value toy.
This session advances your dog’s scent discrimination skills taught in both of the previous levels. Dogs are taught to identify anise, a natural essential oil. We go back to the foundation work but using the scent as the target search objective and continuing to strengthen the foundation skills but will be adding vehicle searches, outside searches & in the ground searches, weather permitting.
