Starting with Food: The Whys and The Hows Webinar Instructor Dianna L. Santos There are many schools of thought when it comes to training Scent Work. In this webinar, we discuss the philosophy of starting with food, the hows and whys in doing so.

There are a ton of different schools of thought when it comes to Scent Work. One of them is introducing the dog to the overall concept of Scent Work by having them hunt for food alone. We will discuss the why's and how's of this methodology in this webinar.

Webinar Details

Scent Work, at its core, involves having a dog hunt for a particular odor in specific search elements. To be successful, the dog must be able to work through a variety of odor puzzles. However, odor is odor. While it is true that Birch, Anise and Clove may be used in competition, food also has odor. Therefore, we could very well introduce the dog to the overall concept of Scent Work using food!

In this webinar we will outline the thinking behind this approach, the benefits of it and how dog and handler teams can then progress to hunting for more than just food alone.

Should You Take This Webinar

Are you curious why someone would start with having their dog hunt for food?

There are lots of schools of thought when it comes to Scent Work and how to go about training for it. Take this webinar to get a better understanding of the reasoning behind why we would start with food, the benefits of doing so, how we progress to introducing odor and then work on planned distractors.

So helpful in explaining starting on primary as opposed to an odor source.
