Course Details
One of the best things about nosework is anyone can start their dog right in their own house! However, as we look towards amplifying the benefits nosework can have in building our dog's confidence in new environments, and work towards competition, none of us are likely to always trial where we train. This means we need to teach our dogs that nosework can happen anywhere!
Generalizing our searching to new environments is perhaps the most essential aspect of trial readiness! And while taking your nosework training on the road is not only very important to your progress, it can also be super fun! But how do you find new locations to train? How do you set your dog up for success in those places? And what strategies can we use to take care of the space and leave a good impression to help all nosework teams who may follow in our footsteps and pawprints?
This webinar will explore these topics including important steps to help your dog generalize their training in new locations, how to find new locations to train and most importantly, how all of us can be good nosework citizens when we take our training on the road.
