Advanced Topics in K9 Nose Work
K9 Short Course 1: AKC Buried Hides
Location: Pioneer Park Center (1331 Talbot Court)
Activity #365025_01
Click here to register online.
The buried hide element can be a challenge to train. Between cumbersome setups for training and the closeness of many buried containers in trials that almost guarantee pooling and trapping odor, the buried element is just plain challenging. This four-week class will provide an opportunity to build your team’s skills from ground zero through the Excellent level and possibly the Master level, if time permits. We will have opportunities for running both known and blind (with coaching) searches and to practice clear handling for our dogs. In addition to in-class practice, we’ll discuss training tips for students to incorporate into their own programs.
Day/Time: Wednesdays, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Session: September 11th – October 2nd
Session Fee: $140 per dog/handler team
Class Max: 6 dogs (humans may enroll up to 2 dogs for one handler)
All registrations and registration forms need to be sent to rectracadmins@cheyennecity.org. Registration forms submitted to Recreation staff will no longer be accepted.
K9 Nose Work Session 2: Containers: Why Does my Dog False Alert? Help!!
Location: Pioneer Park Center (1331 Talbot Court)
Activity #365025_02
Click here to register online.
What is it about container searches??? Containers are challenging for many teams. So many of us seem to end up on a false-alert spiral downward that is both confusing and frustrating – for both handlers and dogs. Much of the time, the issue lies with our unclear handling. In this class, we will focus on human handling to improve clarity for both ends of the leash. We will also vary container setups to provide a variety of problem-solving opportunities for teams. We will not focus a lot on distractors in containers, but that will be a part of this class. Dogs should be on at least birch, anise, and clove and able to find source in a container at the ORT/Novice level.
Time: 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Session: October 23rd – November 13th
Class Max: 6 dogs (humans may enroll up to 2 dogs for one handler)
