Performance Scent Dogs Workshop
|
Combining discussions of scent theory, hide placement, and the rules for Performance Scent Dogs with motivating and confidence-building hides, this seminar goes in to detail about everything you need to know about this fun nose work venue!
This is a split working/lecture seminar that will give handlers insight on their strengths and weaknesses as they prepare to trial, or hone in on specific skills needed to be successful in competition. Dogs must already be started on odor, and we will only use birch. |

Reimagining the Primitive Dog
Primitive dogs are special - this is the main reason we are drawn to them. In many ways, they are more than just dogs, as they react to life on a different level than many of the more modern breeds. While we love it, this is both a blessing and a curse.
To call primitive dogs “different” is an understatement. Those who don’t understand them are generally frustrated with their independent, self-serving nature. And even those who do can still struggle to develop proper manners and obedience skills.
Molly Sumridge and Katie Brennan have the solutions you’re looking for to better understand and embrace your dog’s uniqueness, motivation, and train-ability. YES! Train-ablilty! Your primitive dog is far from untrainable. They CAN walk nicely on a leash, show proper manners, and participate in dog sports. You can even take the leash off!
Molly and Katie will explain how behavior problems start and how best to avoid them in the first place. In addition, they are prepared to present you with hands on training solutions for all your problem behaviors.
