Intro to Scent Discrimination

Intro to Scent Discrimination

From 1.00pm until 3.00pm

At Arnicadia Dog Training

367 Alameda Ave, Astoria, OR

$125

This nosework class will last for 1-2 hours per session (2 dogs = 1 hr, 4 dogs = 1.5hr, 6 dogs = 2hr,) and will meet 5 weeks in a row to work on basic scent work for finding different scents and how to read and build their indications. Cost is $125 due on or before the start date of class. At this point in time, classes are limited to 2 teams because the environment is too small for more handlers to practice safe social distancing.

If interested please complete a registration form on arnicadia.com. All questions should be directed to my e-mail (arnicadia@gmail.com,) my main page (Cati Foss,) or my phone 503-468-2559 (text and voicemail accepted!) My class size is limited to 6 dogs only and on a first come first served basis!

Make sure that you bring your standard leash (retractable leashes are not allowed,) a collar or harness your dog CAN'T escape from, plenty of training treats, and a slightly hungry dog that is willing to learn as well as making sure I can get a copy of your dog's current vaccinations if I don’t already have them on file! All dogs must remain in a car, place, or crate at all times when not being worked, this is not negotiable!  Class is done indoors on various flooring and you will be provided a scent kit at class that should last through the class! All teams must maintain a distance of 6' or more from each other at all times unless otherwise specified for safe social distancing. Because classes are held indoors in a fairly tight space, masks are recommended!

As a note, this class is a foundational starting point for nose work or just for a fun activity for you and your dog! Non-aggressive dogs are welcome as they will not be allowed to interact at any point in time, human reactive dogs must wear a muzzle at all times while being worked.
