About this audiobook
This book provides a systematic and evidence-based approach to starting any dog (and trainer!) In the wonderful world of scent work; whether it be for fun and recreation, sport or working pursuits. Though special attention is paid to the sport of nosework, the same process is applied across the board into conservation, medical and working k-9 detection.
All methods are rewards-based with an emphasis on fun, teamwork, clear communication and a high standard of result. Dogs are first started through a brief period of self-rewarding on food before the target odours are introduced. Through the use of a verbal marker or clicker, the focused response is then shaped, generalized and proofed.
