Episode 16: Foundations and training in multiple dog sports
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
This episode unpacks some of the benefits and potential side effects of engaging your furry friends in multiple sports while aiming to keep their scent detection abilities sharp.
Our hosts share their training experiences and highlight how each dog's skills and interests guide their training journey. They underscore the importance of establishing a solid foundation in all sports and discuss the delicate balance needed to avoid confusion while trying to enhance their scent detection prowess.
The discussion further emphasizes letting dogs lead during scent detection, stating it reveals much about their unique personalities and inherent problem-solving abilities. The episode ends with a reminder of caution against rushing dogs into odor training and competition. Instead, strengthening the core nose work skills and keeping a balance with other sports are advised for optimal outcomes.
Both hosts discuss the significance of foundational training in nose work, the viable transition from food searching to odor searches, and pinpoint how a well-rounded training program can contribute to a dog’s overall skill set if delivered with clarity and context. The podcast ends with useful tips on rewarding dogs for their best performances during training.
Join us in this stimulating conversation and discover the intricacies of dog training, helping you unlock your canine companion's true potential.
