SUMMARY:Scent Work 101: Pairing the Scent
DESCRIPTION:This is a great class to get started in the cool sport of ScentWork. Whether you are looking for an activity to do at home to keep your dogs busy mind occupied or you want to get out and compete with your dog\, this is a good starting spot. Scentwork is an amazing “brain game” for the dogs. Whether your goal is to find an activity to help expend some (mental) energy for your dog at home\, or whether you want to enter the world of dog sports\, this is the place to start.  People will learn how to pair the scent to the odor and also discuss the advantages of a creating an alert if desired.  This is a good class to repeat until you feel that you have a solid indication to odor without the use of a “food lure” but are clearly on “food rewards”. \nClick Here to sign up. \n  \nMake sure you bring your dogs favorite treats\, a harness if you have it (don’t worry if you don’t) and preferably a 6-10 foot leash. \nGold Country Working Dog Club Member Discount available.

SUMMARY:Tracking 101
DESCRIPTION:This session is focused on tracking foundations for IPO. However\, the foundations used for IPO are suitable for introductory SAR work or AKC tracking and each student will work on their own individualized goals. We will be focusing on field work where each dog is.  Tracking will typically be on the property of Gold Country K9 Services. Depending on the attendees and the conditions at GCK9\, we may opt to adjust time slightly and adjust location of class. This is more likely to happen in April\, when we may need to move to a park\, if the grass starts turning to foxtails early. \nSign up here \nBring: Be sure to bring your dogs favorite snacks. I suggest this be something higher value that what you might use for your regular everyday treats. It is best to bring 2-3 things. Examples include; Chicken\, string cheese\, meatballs (broken up)\, Dog Food Rolls (like Lucy’s)\, hot dogs\, etc… you know you’re dog best. Make sure you bring his appetite! \nGold Country Working Dog Club Discount Applies to This Class (Don’t know about Gold Country Working Dog Club…ask at class or check it out at www.gcworkingdogclub.com )

SUMMARY:GCWDC:  IPO/Schutzhund

The fundamentals can and should be taught in a thoughtful manner.  In this class we prepare our dogs to be ready for the helper\, but most of the work is done here so that when we have a helper come in\, the transition is extremely smooth.  Schedule Appointment  \nYou may arrive up 30-60 minutes prior to class to work on your obedience on the field prior to protection. \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Barn Hunting is a cool new sport sweeping the nation and it’s not just for terriers. Taken as an offshoot from the original AKC “Earth Dog” Competition\, Barn Hunt was started to broaden the sport for all competitors and just small terrier breeds. \nThis is the first step in Barn Hunt and a great place to start if you and your dog are interested in the sport. This class is designed to introduce dogs to the sport and build the foundation for the Alert.  Students will stay in this class until they are satisfied that their dog can accurately tell them when they have found the rat!  After that\, it will be time to move to Barnhunt 201; Search Strategy. \nSign up for Barnhunt 101 here \nPlease be aware that once the class is full\, the date longer show on the signup link above.  You may pick a different date\, or keep checking back\, as sometimes\, people adjust their dates and a spot will open up the week prior to class. \nPlease bring your dog\, a long line (if you have it-no worries if you don’t)…and their favorite treats (some dogs don’t need them\, but many do). \nThis class is eligible for the Gold Country Working Dog Member Discount.

SUMMARY:Scent Work 101: Pairing the Scent
DESCRIPTION:This is a great class to get started in the cool sport of ScentWork. Whether you are looking for an activity to do at home to keep your dogs busy mind occupied or you want to get out and compete with your dog\, this is a good starting spot. Scentwork is an amazing “brain game” for the dogs. Whether your goal is to find an activity to help expend some (mental) energy for your dog at home\, or whether you want to enter the world of dog sports\, this is the place to start.  People will learn how to pair the scent to the odor and also discuss the advantages of a creating an alert if desired.  This is a good class to repeat until you feel that you have a solid indication to odor without the use of a “food lure” but are clearly on “food rewards”. \nClick Here to sign up. \n  \nMake sure you bring your dogs favorite treats\, a harness if you have it (don’t worry if you don’t) and preferably a 6-10 foot leash. \nGold Country Working Dog Club Member Discount available.

SUMMARY:GCWDC:  IPO/Schutzhund
DESCRIPTION:Gold Country Working Dog Club meets for IGP (IPO formerly Schutzhund) training. Depending on the week\, we will focus either on the Fundamentals of Protection taught by Cherie Flores. \nWe also have helpers come into the facility for seminars and to do advanced protection work.

The fundamentals can and should be taught in a thoughtful manner.  In this class we prepare our dogs to be ready for the helper\, but most of the work is done here so that when we have a helper come in\, the transition is extremely smooth.  Schedule Appointment  \nYou may arrive up 30-60 minutes prior to class to work on your obedience on the field prior to protection. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Tracking 101
DESCRIPTION:This session is focused on tracking foundations for IPO. However\, the foundations used for IPO are suitable for introductory SAR work or AKC tracking and each student will work on their own individualized goals. We will be focusing on field work where each dog is.  Tracking will typically be on the property of Gold Country K9 Services. Depending on the attendees and the conditions at GCK9\, we may opt to adjust time slightly and adjust location of class. This is more likely to happen in April\, when we may need to move to a park\, if the grass starts turning to foxtails early. \nSign up here \nBring: Be sure to bring your dogs favorite snacks. I suggest this be something higher value that what you might use for your regular everyday treats. It is best to bring 2-3 things. Examples include; Chicken\, string cheese\, meatballs (broken up)\, Dog Food Rolls (like Lucy’s)\, hot dogs\, etc… you know you’re dog best. Make sure you bring his appetite! \nGold Country Working Dog Club Discount Applies to This Class (Don’t know about Gold Country Working Dog Club…ask at class or check it out at www.gcworkingdogclub.com )
