Detection CLASSES

Virtual Detection classes are the perfect way to start your dog on detection, problem solve any issues you are having, and to learn more about the process of raising a detection dog. You will also learn about odor storage, puppy foundations that can be used with any dog, and how to put all of the pieces together. This is open to anyone that is wanting to professionally get started in detection, those who are just looking for something fun and enriching to do with their dog, and anyone who competes or wants to compete in competitions.

Building Your Detection Puppy Class is designed to be an in person introduction to everything detection. We will go over the foundations of raising a rock solid detection (or nose work) puppy, how to building motivation to hunt and use their nose for a specific thing, environmental, and focus drills. This class will be four lessons total, once per week. Target Odor may or may not be used in this class, as most puppies will be hunting for a toy or their food to start. If your puppy is already on odor, no problem, bring it!

Introduction to Target Odor is the class that will get you going on your target odor, start training your final response (if you choose to), and where you start your dog hunting their specific odor. This class is designed for dogs that have good hunt drive already, and just need to be paired to their target odor. If your dog needs a little work on hunting, we will do some simple exercises in this class as well. Class will be 1.5 to 2 hours in length, four sessions in class. Odor kit is included (clove). If you are wanting a different target odor (explosives, narcotics, shed, birch, etc), please reach out ahead of time.

Patterning Your Hunt is designed to teach you and your dog the most effective way to pattern a room, vehicle, and line up. Patterns teach the dog productive areas the search and make the search easier to determine what the dog missed so we can have them check better. Patterns are certainly not required in detection but make everyone's job easier! This class will have multiple locations, so be ready to travel to new environments! Plan for 2 hours for each session, four sessions in class.
