Scent Differentiation for Advanced Users – Distractions, New Target Scents, and Search Scenarios

Once the dog has understood the basics of scent differentiation, and timing and indication are correct, the question often arises: "what now"?
Now the creative game with decoy scents of all kinds can begin! How is this implemented and what is suitable for it? How can you increase the demands on your dog, for example by gradually reducing the target scent? And what if I want to switch to a different target scent in the long term? Perhaps you even have the idea of conditioning your dog to porcini or chanterelle mushrooms to go mushroom hunting together? When do I switch and how does that work? We will also look at ways to change the search scenario. This webinar will be varied. Get ready for the world of scents!

– how to continuously expand nose work creatively,
