Search and Retrieve
 






Search and Retrieve Training level 1, 2, and 3


The dog’s nose is his most important sense much more sensitive than the human organ. It is the most amazing tool and search is the most natural and mentally stimulating exercise for your dog.


Nose work helps to develop your dog’s concentration ability and after the nose work your dog will be mentally and physically satisfied and calm.

Retrieving will improve your relationship and strengthen your position as a leader of the pack as it is always you who control the game. It is not only searching for the dummy but also willingness to hand over the found items to you. It can help relieve anxiety through interactive play, it can keep your dog occupied, it is not time consuming and more than that, it is a great fun for you and your dog.









Content:

During many exercises and learning games your dog will develop his ability of searching and signaling or retrieving the found item or substance.


You will learn many interesting activities in which your dog will be able to use his natural search instinct during walks and entertain each other at home.


During the sessions we will show and explain you and help you to teach your dog to:

  • Search for and Retrieve Items; e.g. your lost key
  • Signal Substances such as Tea, Vanilla, etc.
  • Search and Signal People

Methods:

You will work with your dog in a friendly, relaxed environment among people equally keen on enjoying training their dog.

There are many ways to train a dog to retrieve and we use the most advanced, scientifically proven, kind and effective, training, handling, and communication techniques such as Capturing, Shaping, Prompting and Clicker Training.
