Find Your Fix- Sport Dog Scent Detection Podcast
DO YOU SPEAK DOG ? "Hey- the hide is HERE !!!"
Learning to read our dog working ODOR is no easy task. Our next PODCAST will jump into the deep end and explore Canine Communication ! Everything from our dog's communication of odor, to environment, to distraction and more from search start or release to search finish and search reward.
In our TRAIN TO TRIAL & TRIAL TO TRAIN series we have explored the concepts of source and sourcing, odor pathways, handler observation and Tools to Trial by. Our next series is to TALK COMMUNICATION. Dog to Handler, Handler to Dog and Team Speak !
Everything we DO, everything we SAY and even what we THINK, FEEL and SEE is part of the communication process from start line to finish between ourselves and our dog as a nose work team when we train and trial. To say communication is KEY is an understatement. Lets explore this fun topic and unlock our TRAIN TO TRAIL and TRIAL TO TRAIN potential in our next podcast and beyond.
