This webinar explores the concept of possession in Nose Work: the concept of teaching dogs to confidently claim the hide and stay committed at source. We’ll discuss how reinforcement history influences dogs to remain engaged and actively “demand payment” from the handler. Learn why some dogs leave source too quickly, disconnect after the find, or show unclear communication, and how to build stronger commitment through intentional training. We’ll cover practical exercises to develop clarity, confidence, and value around odor. Create dogs that don’t just find hides… they own them.
