0:00 / 10:34
In this video, Pam Mackinnon shows us how to teach our dogs nose work in our dog training as enrichment and great mental exercise for our dogs.
Dog scentwork expert, Pam (BA, Dip, CABT, OCN), shows how to begin in scentwork even with a very young dog. She demonstrates, with 6 month old Cherry, two different but equally successful methods for teaching the first steps. One method starts out using a soft toy to play "fetch" and "tugger" and the other uses food to play the "find it" game'.
She explains how these games are not only useful in themselves but also a lot of fun for dog and owner. She certainly demonstrates the fun element of training. Finally, she explains how different locations can make a difference when training scent work.
