Seminar #4 - Scent Games: The Nose Knows
This seminar can be offered as indoors only or inside and outside weather

Have you ever noticed that dogs live by their nose? A dog’s
sense of smell is more powerful then we can possibly imagine. So let’s
put that powerful nose to good use! Today, people use dogs in a variety of
roles due to their superior olfactory ability. Dogs have invaluable roles with
search and rescue teams, in identifying contraband, tracking game for hunting,
and keeping tabs on endangered species. Dogs have even been trained to identify
bladder cancer in humans.
We will pair scents to a behavior and object , lots
of air scent games plus a few visual games like reading and differentiating
between signs .. SIT- Down -stand. We will also do some outside air scent games
and tracking footstep to footstep type and trailing games, weather and season

Seminar #6 - Self Control Games
Self-control games include exercises that require the dog to hold a position
despite severe distractions and a high arousal level. A food-motivated dog
that is asked to sit and hold that position while treats are dropped all around
her is demonstrating excellent self-control. A dog that is easily aroused by
motion, but can hold a sit while dogs and children are playing close by are
showing excellent self-control.
Seminar #7 - Fun and Games: Play Training
Play and games develop trust and self control
between the handler and their 4 footed friend.
Play training is a way to teach your dog the games that you and your dog can
play together. Enjoy discovering these games with your dog. Come have fun with
an open mind and heart. Don’t start with expectations… This play
together will help develop a wonderful relationship between you and your dog.
If your dog has fun with you then obedience behaviors will flow out of his
commitment to the bond you have formed. The depth and quality of this bond
will bring you and your 4 footed friend closer building a life time relationship.
This will only be as rich and fulfilling as the time you have committed to
having fun TOGETHER.
