Line-up is a fundamental exercise both in nosework and professional detection, but unfortunately not very popular in our country. It's high time to dispel the myth that line-ups are boring! At this unique workshop, you'll learn about the benefits of training with objects arranged in a line, see how many exercises can be performed with them, and discover how to conduct training so that line-ups become a tool for building your dog's motivation. What will we work on? - Response to scent - Independent work - Focus on the task - Methodical work - Learning directive searching - Building motivation - Multiple samples - Working with distracting scents - Training for motivation to work - Working on emotions - Exercises with various forms of rewarding The workshop is pure practice, though there will also be theory, as exercises will be discussed on an ongoing basis. The K9 vs N9 workshop formula is a comparison of dog training methods in nosework and professional detection. You will learn the practical application of line-ups in preparing service and sport dogs for scent detection.
