Nosework - Taught by Bev Kerr
6 week classes
Nosework is basic scent detection training for your dog. It allows them to combine their amazing sense of smell with their love of performing a task. In the class, we teach the dogs to identify a specific scent, to locate the scent and then tell us that they have found it. As the dogs gain more experience, we ask them to be able to discriminate between different scents. Any dog of any age can do Nosework. It is a low impact activity for both human and canine and is something that dogs love to do. We love it because using their nose requires a great deal of energy and effort from the dog which keeps them busy and tires them out. It is an especially good activity for dogs that are older, have mobility issues, are a bit shy or have not been socialized very well. No special requirements needed - dogs should have some basics Dog’s Age: Any age including senior dogs or dog's that have mobility issues Price: $305.00 6 consecutive classes @ 1h each

Brain Games - Taught by Bev Kerr
6 week classes
Can your dog differentiate between a square and a circle? Will they imitate what they saw you do.....on cue? Is your dog right or left pawed, or are they ambilateral? Recent advances in our understanding of canine cognition have shown that your dog's brain is capable of a lot more than you might think. They can reason, make inferences, make choices, follow gestural communication, do shape and colour and object discrimination, imitate you and much more. Through a series of simple, fun games and activities, this class looks at your dog's cognitive potential and you will be absolutely amazed at their ability to grasp and apply concepts far beyond what we usually ask them to do.
