This class continues to build odor skills(s) used in Scent Work. This class builds on all of the foundation exercises done in the previous four sessions. The concept of pairing may be used to condition the dog to odor and to develop good sourcing through self-reward. Searches may expand to include other rooms or outdoors. Birch, anise, and clove will be used in the SW / Odor Skills, Level 5 class. Links to approved odor sources will be provided in class. This class will be held at the Star City Training Building, 1860 Apperson Drive, Salem, VA 24153 or you will be notified weekly of the location.
