Agility Masters Class
Building on your skills from your Agility Fundamentals classes, we will add Contact Training and Tunnel Work. We’ll also focus on building body awareness and footwork skills, beginning handling techniques, turns and recalls to heel position. We’ll add jumping skills and weaves for dogs over 18 months old. This next level class will hone your skills of supporting your dog in their search for the target odor, observing our dogs “telling us” where the odor is and develop reinforcement strategies to build the searching and sourcing game.
Scent Work Fundamentals 1
Introduce your dog to the world of scent work. This introductory class will lay out the foundation you and your dog need to use the dog’s nose to hunt for target odor. We will focus on developing your dog’s hunting skills, build confidence and desire for the game.
Scent Work Fundamentals 2 Class
Put your dog’s nose to work and continue your adventure in scent work and the sport of nose work. Your dog will continue to advance their skills in searching in the nose work elements of containers, interior, exterior and vehicles.
Truffle Hunting Class
Continue your scent work journey and train your dog to find truffles! Oregon white and black truffles are native to our region and have culinary value. We’ll teach dogs to follow odor trails and uncover ripe truffles.
Sports Sampler Class
Looking for something fun to do with your pup but are not sure which sport you both may like? Through sampling four different sports, you will get to see which sport might be a good fit for your dog and their skills. Besides, having your dog try new things can be an enriching experience, and you will learn what each sport would be like for the human, as well.
