Scent Training for Dogs – Kirkby Lonsdale

This full day seminar explores the theory and practice of training for scent with dogs.
We all know that dogs’ noses are so much better than ours, but a greater understanding helps us relate to our dogs in greater depth.

Whether you train for work, competition, or simply for the huge fun that you and your dog can have together, understanding how our dogs observe the world through their noses helps us to get the best out of their remarkable abilities.

David focuses twenty-six years experience of working with police dogs and training handlers in tracking and searching for people, property, explosives, narcotics, cash and firearms, together with post graduate study, in translating an understanding of the theory into best practice.

Ever wondered what ‘scent’ actually is? Why some dogs are better at searching than others? What the ideal scenting conditions are? How to train your dog to find lost money?
