Day One: Scent movement
We'll talk about how odor moves indoors and outdoors and perform searches that challenge you and your dog.

This is the Scent Detection Clinic day! Whether you want to work on indication, adding new odors, distractions, or challenges teaching others, this is the day for you!
Day Three: Scent Games
Here you will learn different scent games to take away and share with others or just have a fun day with your dog. Whatever your goals, expect a fun day!
Days Four and Five: A Murder Mystery!
Join us for two days of a murder mystery where your dog will make finds that give you clues to solve a murder. Dressing up as steampunk detectives is highly recommended and will add a little fun to your day. Work with your dog and others in a team to solve the mystery!

Sport Search and Rescue
Choose Area, Tracking, or Trailing
Sport search and rescue is a fun scent-based game to play with your dog! Using real search and rescue training methods based on Adrienne's 20+ years as a search and rescue dog handler, you and your pup will enjoy fun games while learning new skills.
In area search, dogs are taught to find any human that may be in the area. This is also called wilderness airscent training, as it is used to find people lost in wilderness settings.
For tracking or trailing, dogs are taught to find a specific person based on presentation of a scent article. This is "bloodhound" searching just like you've seen on television and in movies!
You don't have to pick just one, you can try out different types each week. Adrienne can also offer suggestions based on your dog's personality and working style.
Weekly Classes
Classes are taught outdoors each week on Sunday mornings. We train at parks and other locations throughout the metro Detroit area. Only pay for the classes you attend! You can pay for an individual class for $25 or purchase a package of them for a slight discount. Email adrienne@animalintuition.org to find out more or learn how to join a class.
