What makes your scent dog happy? Is he more interested in checking out distractions than working with you?

• Reward Events
• Focus
• Attention
• Impulse Control
• Food Play
• Environmental Distractions

ONLINE SCENT DOG FOUNDATION

These engagement games are also included in our new ONLINE Scent Dog Foundation course (http://store.huntersheart.com/Scent_Detection_Foundation_Online_Dog_Training_C_p/sdf.htm), which goes live July 1, 2018. Every week for a year, you’ll receive at least one game for building engage your dog, honing focus and having fun. Games feature dogs at different stages of training (from neonatal puppies to proven, bombproof scent detection dogs. Unlike in person classes, you’ll also get to watch the complete process of imprinting target odor in the scent detection lab, plus games to train focussed attention away from odor. We’ll explain how you can play along with your dog, whatever level you’re at, with any age of dog. You’ll also be invited to our private Facebook discussion group to discuss dog training with our students (online and in classes), when and if you like. We hope you can join us.
