LEVEL 2: INTERMEDIATE SCENT WORK
LEVEL 2: INTERMEDIATE SCENT WORK
Continue to strengthen your dog’s searching skills by building on the foundation started in Introduction to Scent Work. The stronger your dog’s skills are at this level, the easier it will be to transition to an odor and the more success your dog will have if you intend to compete. If your dog is faced with searches that are too challenging at higher levels of scent work, bringing him back to the base exercises taught during the Levels 1 & 2 foundation work will give him the self-confidence and motivation to move forward and be successful. This session of classes will also introduce the dogs to bringing the search game outdoors to exterior searches.
PRE-REQUISITE: Class prerequisites and Completion of Introduction to Scent Work or instructor approval.
