Michael and Natalie McManus have been focusing on using Games to teach important concepts in Nose Work for over 10 years. Science has discovered that the number of repetitions it takes to learn something is enormously reduced if it is approached through a game. Games also allow us to expose handlers to calibrated stress in a non-trial environment, where we can focus on improvements, not just outcomes.
In this webinar, Michael and Natalie will cover the theory behind the why and how of playing games in Nose Work, show several of their favorite games, and explain how you can modify games for your own context. Perhaps they will even inspire you to create your own!
