Course Details
Did you know that there is specific research showing that cardiovascular fitness can impact the success of searching, and the time taken to find hides?
Like all sports, scent related sports like nosework, tracking, mantrailing etc. can be very physically demanding. Conditioning can impact your success in competition, reduce the chance of injury, and potentially increase the longevity of your dog in the sport.
This workshop will cover how to identify gaps in your scenting dog's fitness, specific exercises and activities to address these potential gaps, and how to physically prepare and recover from events.
This workshop will suit any dog and handler team that would like to better physically prepare their dog for their scent related sport or activity (Nosework, SAR, tracking, antler hunting, mantrailing, barn hunt and more). Dog’s participating in this workshop need to have clearance to be doing fitness training.
