Merrimac Dog Training Club

This class is a continuation of Scentwork Foundations 1 and continues to build the foundation skills in scentwork. The emphasis will be on increasing your dog's drive for hunting and providing experiences which will build skills. All hides will be paired with food encouraging the dog to stay at source. In addition, the handler will continue to provide consistent start line procedures allowing their dog to hunt. Dogs should have a harness and 10 foot leash. Bring treats your dog will enjoy for training. All dogs must be kept in a crate between exercises. Handlers must be willing to practice exercises three times per week. 

Prerequisites: Dog must have completed a Scentwork Foundations 1 class. Dogs must not have been introduced to odor or trialed in scentwork. The dog must be under control at all times.
