Sniff Thru, Mansfield Center CT, Sat April 4th

All levels can expect to work multiple search areas with multiple hides. The NW1/2 handlers will work smaller areas but can still expect to work 6+ search areas with 12+ hides throughout the sniffer.

Higher levels will have larger areas with additional hides placed out to represent more challenging scent problems.

Handlers will receive a run time and they are welcome to stay after their run if they would like to hear feedback given to others (providing others are ok with that). Education is the driving force behind these sniffer events, workshops, classes etc and often the best knowledge retention occurs when we watch others work.

THIS!!!

I’ve just published “Stress Helps Learning and Bonding.” We often hear that training should be “stress-free,” but the evidence tells a different story. Mild, well-managed stress sharpens learning and can even strengthen the trainer–animal bond. If you work with animals, you may find a few useful insights here. As always, let me know what you think and what your experiences are.
