Intro to Scent
with Kim Poisson
$175
Weeks: 6
Class size: minimum of 3, maximum of 6 Suitable for dogs 6 months and up
- Designed for scent teams that have little to no experience in nosework. In this course we will use our target odor (birch) to teach the basics of nosework. We will also cover air movement, working as a team, creating dedication to odor, reading your dog’s body language, and designing simple searches.
Scent kit provided with cost of class.
THERE ARE NO DOGS THE FIRST CLASS, ONLY PEOPLE
Lots of small, easy-to-chew, high-value treats (this is from the dog’s perspective; they should love what they are getting) and a favorite non-squeaker tug toy
If your dog is active and likes to bark, bring something to occupy them during down time as well as a mat or bed
REGISTRATION IS BY DOG. DO NOT REGISTER A SECOND PERSON - YOU WILL END UP BEING CHARGED TWICE.
Class will skip 6/30/26
