The modern canine has evolved with a fantastic sense of smell. Dogs can smell everything from cancerous cells within the human body to a lost hiker hidden in the mountains, desperate for rescue. This course will show you how to understand the behaviour of scent itself and work with a dog within a mutually beneficial team. You will learn how to work alongside the dog’s flawless sense of smell in roles such as tracking, item search, people search and even cadaver detection.
The course is designed for anyone wanting to teach their dog professional search. It’s suitable for trainers interested in pursuing a professional role in anything from search and rescue, military or police search roles to customs and excise dog training. Alternatively, if you are a pet dog trainer, you have a base of material on specialist dog training that you can use to create your own original group classes and offer an amazing scentwork based service to your clients. Something different that will benefit them and their dogs.
We also cover the fundamentals of how a dog learns and canine coaching in general.
The Search Dog Handler Diploma course will provide you with a vast range of training stages for many different search dog roles. The information within has been learned by the author over many years spent as a professional and operational military search dog trainer. Visit the table of contents to see how much excellent information is contained within the course.
