The Instructors will set up unique courses some weeks for teams to run and work on all elements. The dogs will be introduced to distractions and detailing, will strengthen and add duration to their trained alert behavior. Dogs will learn to work to and pinpoint the source odor in many types of settings and will be introduced to Handler Discrimination. Class will work on handler skills as well. The class is run seminar style where all dogs are crated when it is not their turn to work so owners will need to bring their dogs crate.

If you are serious about competing, then this is the class for you!
