Fun with Nose Work
Classes in New Lebanon
NY with Peg Munves
Step In Time Training LLC
Starting January 5, 2015
Every dog loves nose work: Couch potatoes,
petite pups, oversized pooches, shy dogs, fearful
dogs, obedience dogs, agility dogs, senior
citizens, blind dogs, deaf dogs. Nose Work
builds confidence and burns mental and physical
energy, and gives your dog the chance to be a
dog using her/his strongest sense: his sense of
smell!
Based on canine scent detection work, these
classes will share the same techniques that
professional trainers use to start their own scent
detection dogs for their real-world work. This
fun activity is great for winter, spring, summer
AND fall. Do it at home and anywhere you go!
You can even compete and earn titles in the
sanctioned sport “K9 Nose Work®” from the
National Association of Canine Scent Work.
Ongoing classes help you achieve your ORT
(odor recognition test) and NW1 title, and
beyond.
Two Classes Starting January 2015
Intro to Fun with Nose Work – For teams who
have not done this before OR who want more
practice with the basics. Dogs and handlers learn
how to search for food or a toy in an organized
manner. Multiple hides will be used at each turn
so you get a lot of work and your dog builds
enthusiasm for the hunt. You will learn the most
effective methods for motivating your dogs to
search independently, including the power of
self-rewarding, and how to reinforce the dog’s
behavior at the hidden toy or treat source. You
will start to learn to read your dog, how and
when to help, and when to let the dog work.
