While it’s cold outside, come join us for some fun nosework! Classes start this Wednesday evening Dec. 13, 2017.  at Kayenna Kennels (near Southland and Macleod, Calgary).

Wednesday Evening Classes

  • Level 1 – We’ve inspired hundreds of students internationally and can help motivate your dog to find target scent. No previous experience required. Learn about how we teach scent dogs at: https://youtu.be/wC9MRR7ui70
  • Level 2 – Show Me – We’ll start training the dog to show you the precise location of the source of target odor with a solid indication behavior (usually a down for low hides, or leash pressure to train your scent dog to freeze like a statue with focused attention). Watch Level 2 student, Keata: https://youtu.be/HxzBk1n6AJ4
  • Level 3 – Take your nosework to the next level and/or prepare for nosework competitions. Generalize skills and try new challenges: interiors, (exteriors and vehicles when weather permits). It might be the most fun you’ll ever have with your dog https://youtu.be/-exnulNAkio

Scentscapes and Scent Theory 101 (Presentation)

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/Y4ILlEinTr4

Open your eyes to the fascinating world underpinning scent science. There’s almost always wind! You might not be aware of how every breath you take creates airflow and disturbs scent.

To help your scent dog get to where he needs to be to detect the odor, handlers need to understand how scent travels in different environments and predict the best path for a successful search. Watch smoke travel. Discuss videos of actual scent plumes associated with common scent puzzles. Measure wind speed and see the effects of aging time. Explore research on how scent dogs learn and how best to teach them.
