Everything you never knew you needed to know about training and trialing in scent work! with Peta Clarke This is a webinar for anyone new to training and competing in scent work trials in Australia. We will look at the common training mistakes people make that can cause major issues down the track, the common mistakes people make during a trial and everything I have learned over the past 4 years watching folk fall in love with the sport of scent work. Well all I have learned that we can fit into an hour or so! This webinar will be presented by Peta Clarke. Peta has been involved in scent work for pet dogs for 10 years and has a keen interest in helping pet owners develop training skills to ensure clarity and confidence in their dogs. Peta has worked professionally as an animal trainer for almost 30 years both in Australia and internationally, predominantly in zoos and the film industry and has taught extensively both here and in America.
