Nosework Basecamp: Essential Skills: Foundations for every step of the nosework journey
This 4-week class is part of our Essential Skills series. It will continue the development of strong search skills – hunt drive, motivation, independence – as we focus on handler mechanics. At the end of this class teams should feel more proficient with cues, reward processes, start/end routines and leash handling. The goal is to start to build confidence with running baseline blind searches.
