About this class

Progression class for those who have attended K9 Nose Work 1 and 2 (or similar classes at another location). This class introduces the first target odor, Birch Odor, used in Canine Nose Work. The concept of pairing (placing the primary source used in the prior classes with the Birch Odor) is introduced which serves to help condition the dog to the odor and to help develop good sourcing through the process of self-rewarding.
