Where Are Your Successful Repetitions?

As a new year looms, it is as good time as any to look back, reflect and attempt to set the tone for the next twelve months.

Our dogs are so incredibly talented when it comes to Scent Work. It is a gift that we can join them on their sniffing journey.

Granting our dogs the power of choice can help elevate the quality of their learning and effectiveness in Scent Work.

Are you doing all you can to provide clarity to your dog so they understand HOW they can successfully play the cent work game?

We must ensure we are not hampering our dog's ability to succeed in Scent Work due to our own hang-ups, negative emotions and past failures.

When training in Scent Work, we must avoid the allure to rush in and help our dogs when they merely need time and patience to learn.

With clarity, we can achieve our Scent Work training goals, be it working with our dogs or working with clients as instructors.

We must recognize that odor is dynamic and will interact with the totality of the space, including with container searches.

Are your Scent Work training exercises teaching what you think they are teaching, or is your dog learning something else entirely?

Picture this: you are tasked with a super complicated and challenging project at work. Tackling this project has forced you to use all...

Mindlessly mimicking what we see instructors, speakers or other dog and handler teams do can be our downfall in Scent Work.

Solutions for issues you may be encountering in Scent Work may exist OUTSIDE of Scent Work entirely. We discuss in this blog post.
