Introduction To Odor

For pups and dogs of all ages with no previous scent work training.  Your pup will learn to recognize the four AKC odors (birch, anise, clove, and cypress), search for them, and indicate.  You will learn the rules of AKC Scent Work and what to expect at a trial.  Lots of food (treats) are utilized, as well as toys to build drive and confidence.  All four elements of AKC Scent Work are introduced to your pup - buried, containers, interiors, and exteriors.  Dogs are also introduced to vehicle searches.
