WW486: Oct 20- Building Nosework Skills: The Inaccessible Hide Due to Containment (REPEAT)

Inaccessible hides don't need to be scary! You don't need to avoid training them. In this workshop series, we will explore HOW to train these skills.

This workshop will focus on the Inaccessible Hide Due to Containment. Basically, that is a fancy way of saying that we will train our dogs to find and communicate to us that there is a hide in a contained location like a cabinet or a drawer.

The key to training this skill is in timing of your marker. We will cover the steps to introduce and fine tune this type of hide but will focus our feedback on marker timing. You will find that timing your marker will give your dog a power boost in understanding!

Specific topics of the lecture portion will include:

• - Understanding the value of marker timing for this type of hide specifically
• - Discussion about reading the dog's behavior
• - Identification of that "AH-HA Moment"
• - Steps to introduce this type of hide
• - Examples of application of correct marker timing
