Guided practices

Tuesdays, Sept. 10 - Oct, 22, 2024
Group 1 6:15 - 7:15 pm
Group 2 7:30 - 8:30pm (more advanced)
​
Odd Fellows Hall in Armstrong (3005 Wood Ave)
The class is limited to 6 dogs.
During the guided practice, your dog will increase their searching skills and odor obedience. Dogs must already be on the birch odor at the minimum. During the class, the hides will continue to be paired with primary rewards while we will add new and increasingly difficult search challenges. We will also focus on building your dog's drive and stamina for searching. Over the course of the 5 weeks, cypress and clove bud may be introduced (if not already known) and used.
