Program Outline
Days 1-5: During the first days, you will learn the process of training your dog in scent detection, from conditioning a positive emotional response to the odor to more advanced searching. You will discover many different techniques, as we believe that ‘One size does not fit all’, particularly in scent detection training.
Days 6-11: These days are focused on assessments and consist of four days of learning systematic search techniques and revisiting topics from the first five days in more depth. The last two days will be dedicated to scenario-based assessments. Please do not worry; remember, this is a fully supported program, and we are available to assist you throughout your journey.
Days 12-16: During Instructor training, you will receive training that will help you design and develop your own scent detection courses. The lessons will cover various topics, including adult learning theories, classroom skills, and creating a safe learning environment for both dogs and humans. You will also continue with practical training to develop your dog-handling skills and training knowledge.
