Looking for Canadian made dog treats? We are bringing in a new line, Alberta Bites!
We hope everyone is staying warm during this chilly time of the year. Is your dog struggling being cooped up at home? Come join us for our newest services at In-Sync!
The first one will be an Introduction to Scent Work class. This introductory course sets the foundation for recreational or competitive scent detection with any of the major nosework organizations, including CKC, SDDA, and C-WAGS. In this class, dogs will learn to locate and "alert" (a visual cue to the handler to indicate that the dog has found the correct location of the scent) on Wintergreen odour. By the end of the 6 week class, dogs should be able to discern which container of several contains scent in an enclosed area. No previous experience in scent training required.
For the next class we will be rebooting our Tricks class. During the class you’ll be able to choose from a long list of tricks which we’ll be able to help you teach from the ground up. Tricks are a great foundation for valuable life skills and an excellent way to strengthen your relationship with your furry friend. Dogs with any human/dog reactivity will not be able to attend due to the smaller training area the class will be conducted in.
Both of these classes will be taught by Darcie Mesher, she is a Do More with your Dog! (CKC recognized) Certified Trick Dog Instructor and is qualified to witness title performances, so you could end the class with a new ribbon and title. She also has years of experience competing and training in scent based sports.
Class schedules will be posted below along with a link to sign up, make sure to select the correct month and the category “All Other Sport Classes” for an easier time registering. Check out the videos below for a peek into the things you’ll learn, we look forward to seeing you then!
