Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar Instructor Michael McManus Without a solid foundation, you and your dog will falter in your Scent Work training and trialing goals. Learn what the four pillars of a solid foundation in Nose Work are in this webinar.

Hunt Drive, Independence, Problem Solving, Confidence. These are the 4 Pillars of a solid Nose Work/Scent Work foundation.

In this webinar, Michael will unpack each of these Pillars in depth. He will also discuss how to build a foundation in a new dog and how to maintain it throughout your dog's career (yes, it does require maintenance!).

CEUs

This webinar is approved for 2 NACSW CEUs.

Should You Take This Webinar

Are you training in Scent Work or Nose Work?

Avoid holes developing in your training and assess if you are properly maintaining each of these four pillars.

Are you planning to, or are currently, competing?

Without a solid foundation, you will not be successful in competition. You may do well in the lower levels, but it will catch with you in the upper levels.

Are you an instructor?

Evaluate your lessons and lesson plans: are you giving your canine and human students the skills they need to develop a strong and solid foundation?

I found this webinar at just the right time. My dog is now at the Masters AKC level and we are prepping for our NW3. I had found myself falling into the trap of always setting up harder and more challenging searches mimicking these two levels every training session. Returning to the foundations skills has added in the fun again for my dog and for me, as well as put us back on a more balanced track of training.

Judith B. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

Absolutely loved this webinar, so much good information! The videos were great for training exercises to check for holes in our foundation. I especially appreciated the discussion on going back to primary once the dog was introduced to odor.

Lynn S. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

Saying it over and over, the HUNT! The basics! It just confirms what I’ve been thinking and wanting to keep in front of all my training.

Denise S. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

The exercises that were given. I am lucky that I take locally from Natalie and Michael. This gives me some ideas to ask Michael to work on building confidence with my Poodle, Walter!

April L. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

It gave me things to think about, ideas on setting up a search, on getting my dogs hunt drive in top gear. He is very methodical and successful but not sure the drive is where it should be.

Doreen H. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

Great examples of how to work on things and was good to have the two contrasting dogs in the videos

Carmel N. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

All the exercices given to build foundations or to keep up with training with advance settings for the same exercices.

Annick S. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

I live in an area where there are no instructors in this sport. Learning how to help my dog problem solve and provide searches to build confidence was hugely beneficial in our training.

Darlene F. Foundation: The Four Pillars of Nose Work Webinar

Great simple and fun exercises to add to my training to build on fundamentals as we move up in nosework levels. I really got some great information and ideas from this.
