For whom is detection training?
Detection training is a nice activity for every dog of every breed and age.
We find it important to prioritize socialization and basic education over this nice dog sport. Because of that, we recommend, in general, to start with the puppy class and the obedience class.
What is scent detection training?
During the detection classes, we train the dog to systematically search for a target scent and how to clearly show us the location of the source of the scent. When you practise this sport as a hobby, we often use a herb as a target scent.
The end goal of detection is that you as the owner don’t know where the source of the scent is. By reading your dog’s body language and guiding your dog, you will learn how to work together with your dog to find the target scent.
Long term hobby
Detection is a long term hobby for you and your dog.
The possibilities are endless. You’ll start with a line-up with about 5 detection boxes, from there we continue with the detection wall, an area search, a vehicle search etc.
Because of many difficulty levels in competitions and exams this sport will challenge you for quite some time!
