Do you have a timid Nose Work dog? Does your dog worry about different flooring, going into tight spaces, going to new places? Try Dog Parkour! While Nose Work is great for building confidence, Dog Parkour can help build confidence in different ways and can help your dog when encountering different Nose Work search areas.

Sometimes the best way to build a Nose Work dog’s confidence is to work on different activities without scent being present. Parkour is the perfect activity that can be done with all dogs to build confidence by introducing the dog to many different surfaces and obstacles and giving the dog choice in those interactions. By giving the dog choice in how and when to interact with the obstacle the dog learns to trust us more and becomes more willing to try different things. Over time this will translate into other areas of life, including Nose Work searches. Plus, Parkour is FUN!

If you are finding your dog is great at finding odor, but isn’t confident at actually getting to it in different situations, this webinar is for you. This webinar would also be great for Nose Work instructors because as we all know, it’s not always all about the odor! There’s so much more to training a Nose Work dog than just teaching the dogs to find odor. By learning about Dog Parkour and working on it outside of regular Nose Work classes, you could reach more students and help them become stronger sniffers.
