Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Give your dog a real job to do with their nose. The Scentwise Dog is a humane eight-week guide to building scent work at home, from first food hunts and container searches to whole-room problems, short outdoor trails, airflow, natural indications, blind searches, and carefully controlled target odor. Twenty-four readiness-gated missions show you how to prepare safe search areas, reward at source, follow without steering, read changes in search behavior, handle a long line, prevent contamination, and know when to simplify or stop. Practical adaptations support puppies, adolescents, seniors, shy dogs, high-energy dogs, mobility needs, and multi-dog homes. Photographic instruction and focused records help you see what your dog is actually doing without flowchart-heavy theory or padded blank pages. Target odor remains optional, and the safety chapter explains storage, handling, exposure risks, and when veterinary or professional guidance is needed.
