No previous training of any kind is required.
INTRODUCTION TO ODOR
Teaches the dog to search for a q-tip impregnated with the vapor of birch oil and to ALERT to the handler that the find has been located. Initial hides will be paired with food and located in boxes; as the dog progresses, environmental objects will be added to the search area. By the end of class, the dog will be hunting for the q-tip only. Handlers will be expected to “reward at source” and be able to read their dog’s body language when they have alerted to the source odor.
Prerequisite is Exteriors and Vehicles Using Primary.
