Scenting Pups
Thursday July 2nd 5:10 - 6:00 pm
There's a whole lot of sniffing going on!
This intro clinic is exciting for both pups and handler and is based on scent detection training.
They focus on developing your dog's natural scenting abilities by using their desire to hunt.
Scent work can help develop confidence even in the most timid dogs and the mental and physical exercise of searching and problem-solving is great for calming the energetic, highly aroused, or even reactive dogs. Another benefit is the positive relationship that develops between you and your dog when you are out "hunting" together.

Introduce your puppy to the experiences and equipment they will encounter when they start agility training… or just give them some exposure to Fun With Weird Objects!
This hands on workshop will acclimate the pups to agility equipment and foundation exercises, so if you decide to try agility, your pup will have had some early socialization to the equipment, making it easier for them to get going again later. It’s also fantastic for teaching puppies how to problem solve and confidently explore new things they may encounter in life.
We also show you some fun training games that can be done at home.
