Learn Something New Together.

Important information:

The workshop is a two day event and will cover different content on each day. To keep it affordable, we have given people the option to book a working spot on either or both days. If you only intend to bring your dog for one day, we recommend an auditing spot on the other day.

 

Behaviour is complex! Scent work behaviour is VERY complex!

 

During a training session, there is always a lot going on for both the dog and the handler. Learning is dynamic and multilayered, which means our dogs may be learning more than we are trying to teach. Sometimes these extracurricular activities may be beneficial, but often the learning can be detrimental to our overall goal of having the happiest, most independent, fastest sourcing dog in the southern hemisphere.

 

In this workshop, we delve into how we can best analyse our scent work training sessions. What did our dog perceive? What may have stuck? What may have unstuck? What may have overshadowed the very thing we were wanting them to learn?
