Searching Fun for Enrichment and Confidence Building
Nosework activities also build confidence. Why? Because when we set searches in a way that encourages our dog to explore and work their environment, the dog develops positive feelings that translate into lower anxiety and overall mastery of their surroundings. When the dog is challenged with problem-solving searches, you give your dog the tools to feel good about their environment. This approach to teaching the dog to search taps into all the feel good parts of the brain.
This program is great for young puppies, energetic adolescents, adults who need enrichment, and seniors who need cognitive stimulation. Searching is for every dog!
In this course, we will explore:
- Sniffing and Searching Benefits: Using up that excess energy and building confidence
- Introducing searching skills
- Introducing Problem Solving… the How and the Why!
- Using your new searching skills to build confidence
- Where to learn more!!
And if you get completely hooked and would like to try Nosework as a Sport, this course will give you valuable skills that are completely transferable to a competitive context.
Let's get Sniffing!!
