Fred Helfers, CNWI Presents:
Understanding Olfaction and Odors Seminar - Lecture Only August 29, 2015 - 8:30 am - 5:00 pm This full day seminar will cover the areas of Canine Olfaction, how the canine nose works, scent discrimination, factors effecting odors and utilizing your knowledge of Odors and Olfaction in K9 Nose Work®. The K9 Nose Work® dog handler must learn to interpret their dog’s behavior when detecting odor molecules. The handler should have an understanding of the dog’s olfactory system and the odor molecules the dog detects. This seminar is for everyone who has a dog and is interested in how dogs use their nose to detect odors. Common Handler Errors Seminar - Lecture Only Identifying the 10 most Common Handler Error Faults August 30, 2015 - 8:30 am - 12:30 pm This 4 hour lecture specifically focuses on Handler Error and incorporates both video and power point presentations. Experience has shown that by establishing and applying a consistent maintenance training program, the areas of handler error (e. g. leash handling, detailing skills, reading changes of behavior, search patterns, cueing, considering environment) are easily understood and correctable. The experienced canine handler will quickly recognize that there are many situations that can lead to handler error. Prerequisite: Olfaction and Odors Seminar.
