Hooked on Scentwork? Want to try out scentwork trials? This is the course designed to specifically help you. It is also a great course for those who want to try their newfound scentwork skills in new environments as each week we move to a new venue. The Doggy Lady also runs lots of fun mock scentwork trials for you to enjoy and practice what you have learnt!
In our five week course we will:
Provide advice on the rules and what to expect at a trial
Introduce the four elements - containers, interiors, exteriors and vehicles and how to approach them
Practice mock novice trial set-ups
All classes will be held at trial-like venues in the Shire of Kalamunda (or Bassendean) to help expose you and the dogs to different environments.
Classes are designed and taught by Fiona Cowie (Foundation ANKC Scentwork Judge) and/or Stephanie Bryson or Kelby Faulds (Scentwork competitors). All are also qualified trainers accredited with the IMDT.
Maximum of five dogs per class. Dogs need to be dog and human social and non-markers. Course consists of five 90 minute classes
