This 6-week class continues your dog’s nose work journey. Successful completion of Nose Work Level 2 is required to enroll. In this class we teach dogs how to find specific odors on vehicles and in exterior locations. This teaches the handler keen observation skills to know when the dog is following odor, and teaches dogs to work in the presence of distractions. Unlike a traditional training class your dog will remain in your car or crated inside during this class, so that each dog can work one at a time in the building. This allows your dog to feel safe to search and learn, while allowing handlers to work on their observation skills without needing to manage their dog. Please make sure that your car is set up to contain your dog, or they can be crated inside the building away from where we will be working. Crating allows dogs time to rest and process information between searches. Dogs must be at least six months old. Required medical records for class participation include proof of the following vaccines: Rabies, Bordetella, and DHPP. Payment does not enroll you in the class. You must confirm your enrollment with a HABIC trainer by emailing HABICTraining@colostate.edu. HABIC class fees are nonrefundable. Makeup sessions are not available for missed classes.
