We cordially invite you to the nosework seminar from the series 'Competitor Workshop: Scent Challenges in Higher Classes,' which will take place on October 19-20, 2024.
IMPORTANT: Practical training with dogs will take place in Warsaw or the nearby area. The location will depend on the weather and the level of experience of the registered teams.
WHO IS IT FOR?
During the two-day workshop, we will focus on working with teams that: already know the basics of nosework and want to develop in this sport; plan to compete (or are competing) in competitions or want to enhance their skills in more advanced searches. The scope of the workshop will cover scent challenges that may arise in competitions in higher classes (2 or 3).
The workshops will include work on various rings and learning to analyze rings for effective searches in higher classes.
A prerequisite for participation in the seminar is knowledge of at least two scents – cinnamon, orange, clove, and the ability of the dog to indicate the sample.
