Top 10 Things Your Nosework Instructor Says

 



10. Pay your dog!

9. Give your dog room to work.

8. You're too close to your dog.

7. Step away from your dog when he starts to detail.

6. Let your dog work out that scent picture - you can't help, so step back.

5. Get out of your dog's way, you are too close.

4. You can observe your dog's behavior much better if you are a little farther away from her.

3. Let your dog lead into a search area. Don't be right on her tail.

2. She just needs space and time to sort out that scent picture - stand back and watch her work. 

1. Good job!


Enjoy your dog!
