Passive Searching L1 & L2

Elite Detective Canine

This is our 'passive' search courses. Passive searching is a technique used when we want our dogs to indicate on a substance that we don't want them to touch. This course will teach our dogs an indication for when the scent is located. This is commonly used by drugs and explosive search dogs. Remember this is just for fun, but it does make a good party trick. 
​
Each level is a three week course
(60 min classes)
​
You will be left with training exercises to continue practicing after each session, which will ensure you and your dog continue to improve between sessions.
