Description: This class will focus on learning skills to compete in the Handler Discrimination Division classes in both AKC and UKC venues. In the novice level, the dog learns to find the handler's scented article inside a closed cardboard box. We will build value for searching for our scent in various scenarios: glove/sock outside of boxes, hidden in a room, inside of vented containers and eventually closed inside of a cardboard box. We will also introduce scented cotton balls and swabs used in the upper AKC levels, and take a sneak peek at what else is required for competing past the Novice level in both venues.
Prerequisites: Must hold UKC or AKC Novice Title
