Webinar: Toy Reward 101 – From Fundamentals to Implementation in Nose Work with Wendy Krehbiel, CNWI,
REGISTRATION OPEN NOW! Available for both general attendance as well as K9 Nose Work® Instructors.

INSTRUCTOR: Wendy Krehbiel CNWI

DATE/TIME: March 2, 2024 / 9:00-11:00am Pacific Time

WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
Do you have a dog who loves to play with toys? Or are you an instructor who may have students whose dogs love toys? This webinar will discuss using toys in training starting with the fundamentals and progressing to using toys as a reward in nose work.

Utilizing play is a great tool to help build excitement, engagement and drive with a dog. You can utilize toys as a reward for basic obedience behaviors, life skills, tricks, and for many dog sports including nose work. Play is a great way to bring out the prey drive in a dog which can create additional intensity and a sense of urgency in their searching.

The following will be addressed in the webinar:

Why might you want to do toy reward?
How to determine if using a toy as a reward might be right for your dog?
How to select a toy and determine how to use it as a reward
Troubleshoot issues with toy reward – i.e. dogs who don’t bring the toy back or won’t let go
How to do drive building exercises and build impulse control with a toy
How to start a dog on primary using a toy
How to utilize a toy for a dog already searching for odor
